Honey Tips
How Honey Is Created
Honey is created when bees mix plant nectar, a sweet substance secreted by flowers, with their own bee enzymes.
Directions
Place water and lentils into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pan and simmer lentils on low heat until tender but still firm, about 25 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup liquid. Sauté garlic, onion, green pepper, cumin and chili powder in olive oil for just a few minutes. Add tomato sauce, vinegar, honey and reserved lentil liquid. Stir well. Pour into pan with lentils and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over rice topped with a dollop of plain yogurt. Serves 4.
