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

In a large pot, heat oil over medium heat. Saute leeks until softened. Add squash, ginger, honey, cinnamon, soy sauce, cilantro, curry powder and water. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and cover.
Continue to cook for 15 minutes, or until squash is tender. Add coconut and tofu, dash of red pepper, and salt to taste. Cook another 5 minutes.
Serve over rice. Sprinkle with peanuts.
