I must admit the wasabe flavour didn't come through that strongly but maybe I wasn't being brave enough with the quantity I used. This brownie keeps well in the fridge and freezes well also.

Ingredients
350g (12oz) chocolate
250g (1 cup) butter
3 large eggs
250g (1 cup) dark brown sugar
110g (4oz) self raising flour
2 teaspoons wasabi paste
zest of two limes

First of all place the butter and chocolate into a metal or glass bowl and place that over a small pan of simmering water. Allow it to completely melt and then mix it together thoroughly.
Place the eggs, lime zest, wasabe, sugar and flour in a bowl and whisk it together.
When the chocolate is melted whisk it into the egg mixture.
Fill a lined baking tray or cake tin with the mixture and bake the brownie for about 40 minutes in a medium heat oven or until the top is dry and crusted and the mixture is set firm.
Cool and serve in bite sized chunks.

Wasabi is a Japanese horseradish with a strong, hot flavour that doesn't leave an afterburn in the mouth. A bit like snuff it can freeze your brain if you take to much - not literally!

It can be bought in powder form, in which case you mix it with a little water to form a green paste, or pre mixed in a tube. Use whichever you prefer - the tubed stuff is more convenient. Whenever you serve sushi serve some of this as well along with some pickled ginger and soy sauce.
