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 olive oil in a large pot. Saute leeks, scallions, garlic and dill over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add honey and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Continue stirring for one minute. Add water, rice, salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Stir in cumin. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Toss in almonds and remaining tablespoon of lemon juice. Use fork to fluff.
