I love working with Honey for Life. Not only are their products delicious and good for me, I am learning to examine the ways in which I use a highly rated TA honey, I am making a lot more recipes starring honey.
If you have a great honey, it is better not to heat it, to retain the health benefits. This recipe barely has honey in it if we're honest. BUT, the small amount it does have is essential to the finished flavour of the recipe and yes, it remains unheated thus retaining all it's health benefits. (So don't forget it!) You can use the Fermented Chilli Honey if you happen to have some ready, but it is equally delicious with just a drizzle of any honey. In fact, my (grown up) kids were skeptical about the drizzle, they were eating the last couple of pastres and couldn't be bothered adding it...I insisted. They were amazed and agreed that it did make the dish!
SO...These are super easy, very impressive, you do need to make the Caramelised Onion Relish recipe, but the rest is non Thermomixy. Have fun and serve with a big leafy green salad.
Your tastebuds will thank you (and me)!
