  • pinch of salt
  • 1 cup shelled pistachio nuts, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • Grease a 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33cm) baking pan and line the base and sides with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
  • Stir the butter and 11 oz (300g) chocolate in a large saucepan over medium heat until both are almost melted. Remove from the heat & continue to stir until mixture is smooth.
  • Add the sugar, eggs & zest stir until well combined.
