Calling a brownie made with pistachios a “greenie” seemed
like a perfectly sensible thing to do, until I realized that was also the name
of a popular brand of pet treats, as well as the street name for
amphetamines.
Most chefs, not wanting their recipe
associated with such
unsavoriness would have changed the name, but not me. I’m hoping that
these become so popular that eventually the pet people and druggies
will be forced to change their names instead. We shall see.
Anyway, as I exclaimed in the video, these were great, but
some dark chocolate chips really would have put this over the top. I’m adding a
half-cup of mini chips to the recipe ingredients below, and I highly recommend
you do as I say, not as I did.
