Cherry chocolate clafoutis
In France the cherries used in this dish are usually un-stoned, which adds a delicious almondy flavour, though here I have stoned them for easier eating. A shallow quiche dish or similar is ideal for cooking the clafoutis and it’s served straight from the oven when lightly puffed and warm.
