There are countless benefits, properties, and qualities, both healing and protective, that this delicious ingredient offers. Honey contains vitamins A, C, D, B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6, and minerals such as copper, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium, manganese, sodium, and iodine. It goes without saying that it is a superfood that you should have on hand now that the cold season is beginning. That’s why we’ve prepared five delicious recipes that will help you make the most of honey.
Chicken Breasts with Mustard and Honey Sauce
When we think of honey, the first thing that might come to mind is a sweet preparation, but there are also savory dishes, sauces, and dressings that work perfectly with it. A good example is these juicy, golden chicken breasts glazed with classic honey and mustard sauce. They are very easy to make, taking only 35 minutes, and they really only require five ingredients.
Honey-Glazed Carrots
Honey also gives us the opportunity to serve vegetables and sides with a completely different flavor. In this case, honey caramelizes and softens the carrots, giving them a sweet touch and a silky texture for a delicious accompaniment. This dish pairs wonderfully with pork recipes like loin or chops, but it can also be served alongside chicken stews or grilled fish.
Orange and Honey Dressing
If you want to accompany a delicious, fresh salad with a different and tropical flavor, then this is the dressing for you. It includes apple cider vinegar, orange juice, honey, mustard, and olive oil. It isn’t heavy at all, but it has a very intense flavor that will elevate any vegetable preparation you use at home. We recommend making a large batch at once and storing it in the refrigerator, as it can last up to a whole week.
Brie Cheese with Raspberries, Honey, and Pistachios
An elegant snack for when you have guests this season. Just starting with the white cheese, the red of the raspberries, and the golden honey is visually appealing, and then there’s the flavor: sweet, tangy, and salty. Undoubtedly, it’s a delicious snack dish that will impress all your friends, and it’s also very easy to prepare.
Spicy Honey Chicken Wings
Now, cooking with honey doesn’t mean you have to limit yourself to cheeses and vegetables, and this recipe proves that it’s also perfect for game day snacks. These are crispy, flavorful wings that combine the sweetness of honey with the spiciness of paprika and your choice of sauce. You can serve them with celery sticks and sour cream or blue cheese, and you’ll have a winning dish.
