Honey Tips
Honey Is One of the Oldest Foods
Honey is one of the oldest foods in existence. It was found in the tomb of King Tut and was still edible since honey never spoils.
Directions
Discard tough ribs from escarole. Rinse and drain leaves. Chop coarsely.
Heat oil in a large pot. Add onion, garlic, ham, celery and carrots. Cook stirring often about 5 minutes. Add broth and honey. Bring to a boil. Add escarole and beans. Simmer for 10 minutes or until carrots are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls. Top with Parmesan.
