Honey Tips

Honey Flavors and Colors

Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.

Directions

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add sausage and cook until meat is no longer pink inside. Add wine, tomatoes, honey, basil and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in beans. Simmer 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, brush a non-stick skillet with a teaspoon of olive oil or coat with non-stick cooking spray. Heat over medium-high heat. Slice polenta into 1/4-inch slices. Add to hot pan and cook until crusty, about 3 minutes per side.
To serve, place 4 slices of polenta on a plate. Spoon stew over polenta.
