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

Place water and lentils into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pan and simmer lentils on low heat until tender but still firm, about 25 minutes. Drain, reserving ½ cup liquid. Sauté garlic, onion, green pepper, cumin and chili powder in olive oil for just a few minutes. Add tomato sauce, vinegar, honey and reserved lentil liquid. Stir well. Pour into pan with lentils and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over rice topped with a dollop of plain yogurt. Serves 4.
