Blog Recipe Example : Fig, Cashew and Cardamom Biscotti
Ingredients
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tbs olive oil
1/3 cup cane sugar
1 egg
5 cardamom pods, seeds removed and ground in a spice/coffee grinder
zest of 1/2 an orange
1/2 cup dried figs, chopped
1/2 cup roasted, salted cashews, chopped
Instructions
1) Preheat oven to 325°F/165°C. In a small bowl, whisk dry ingredients together and set aside.
2) In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy, then beat in the egg. Mix in zest and cardamom. With a rubber spatual, fold
in the dry ingredients until just blended, then fold in the cashews and figs. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a 15 x 1.25 inch log and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3) Bake for about 25 minutes, until very pale golden (I rotated the pan halfway through). Remove from oven (leaving oven on) and when cool enough to handle, slice with a serrated knife into little biscotti-size cookies. Be gentle.
4) Place the biscotti back on the pan or directly onto the oven rack and toast on each side for about 7 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and cool.
5) Serve with your favorite warm beverage. I enjoyed mine dunked in black tea!

“Walk in refrigerator is spot on, Israeli homes are not built for the cold. Brrrrrr! But its great the weekend was beautiful and you had a chance to see the blossoming almonds, anemones….everything is awakening. I usually store the cardamom in the pod in the freezer and crush them right before use.”
