Almond, Black Pepper and Fig Cake With Tamarind Glaze Recipe - The New York Times

Posted: 09 Aug 2020 11:09 AM PDT

This cake celebrates the sweet, jamlike texture of juicy ripe figs against the backdrop of a fragrant almond cake, with a sweet-and-sour tamarind glaze as contrast. As the cake bakes, the fresh figs release their juices, which begin to caramelize and take on the flavor of black pepper. Tellicherry black peppercorns and long pepper, if available, are wonderful options to explore for their unique aromas. Frozen fresh figs will also work in this cake. Just remember to thaw them to room temperature and drain off any excess liquid before using. And, make sure to use tamarind paste, not concentrate. Thick, syrupy concentrates lack the fruity flavor of tamarind and carry a noticeable artificial aftertaste.

Jackfruit contains 2.5 g of fiber per serving. That's not an incredibly high amount compared with some other produce — green peas, for instance, have 8.8 g of fiber per cup. But it will help you reach the recommended fiber intake, which the Mayo Clinic lists as 21 to 25 g per day for women and 30 to 38 g per day for men. The majority of Americans do not eat enough fiber, according to research published in 2016. Fiber is an important nutrient for meeting your weight loss goals because it adds bulk to your diet.  "It can help keep you feeling fuller for longer periods of time, thus cutting back on unnecessary snacking and grazing," Gillespie says. Plus, eating jackfruit as a substitute for meat
