Preparation steps
- preheat oven to 200°C, then grease and line a 23cm square or 30x20cm rectangular baking tin
- melt butter with dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water for about 2 minutes, then stir to a thick shiny sauce and cool to room temperature
- whisk eggs and caster sugar until pale and creamy, about 3 minutes with an electric mixer
- fold the melted chocolate sauce into the egg and sugar mixture gently using a spatula, without over-working
- sift plain flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then gently fold into the chocolate mixture
- gently fold halva pieces through the batter
- pour or scrape batter into the lined baking tin and even it out
- dollop tahini paste into about 12 different places, then use a skewer to swirl them through to create a marbled effect, taking the marbling right to the edges of the tin
- bake for about 23 minutes until the middle has a slight wobble and it is gooey inside (22 to 25 minutes; bake a couple minutes less for a 30x20cm tin)
- set aside for just 30 minutes before cutting into 16 pieces for warm-ish (and gooey) brownies; otherwise set aside for longer to cool to room temperature
