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

Sauté garlic in olive oil until lightly browned. Add eggplant and sauté for 5 minutes. Add zucchini and mushroom slices. Cook for 5 minutes more.
Add asparagus, tomatoes, honey and spices. Continue cooking until asparagus are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add olives and stir. Serve over pasta.
