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
To grill vegetables:
Lightly coat or spray eggplant rounds and tomato halves with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill on each side until browned, turning often. Set aside. When cooled, chop eggplant into 1/2 inch wide strips and cut tomatoes into 1 inch pieces. Place in a bowl and stir in honey.
Pasta:
Cook pasta according to package directions until just al dente. Drain pasta and return to pot. Add remaining ingredients along with eggplant mixture. Toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
