Calories 80kcal

Ingredients

• 1 lb Fresh String Beans
• 2 tbsp Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 Cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce or Tamari (for a gluten-free option)
• ½ tsp Ground Ginger
• ¼ tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional for spice)
• Sesame Seeds, toasted (for garnish)
• Fresh Lemon Wedges (for serving)

Instructions

• Blanch Green Beans:

  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed string beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
• Prepare Glaze:

  In a small bowl, whisk together Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey, olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce or tamari, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well to create the honey glaze.
• Cook Green Beans:

  In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the blanched green beans and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are just starting to become tender.
• Add Glaze:

  Pour the honey glaze over the string beans in the skillet. Toss well to coat the beans evenly with the glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the green beans.
• Serve:

  Transfer the honey-glazed string beans to a serving dish. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the beans for added crunch and flavor. Serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side.
• Enjoy:

  Serve these Honey-Glazed String Beans hot as a delicious and nutritious side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses, from grilled chicken to tofu stir-fry.

Notes

• You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference.
• For a variation, add a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice to the honey glaze for a tangy twist.
• Leftover honey-glazed green beans can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in the microwave or on the stove.

These Honey-Glazed String Beans are a delightful fusion of sweetness and savoury flavours, making them a perfect addition to any meal for health-conscious eaters, weight watchers, and natural food enthusiasts seeking a tasty and wholesome side dish.

Calories 250kcal

Ingredients

• 2 slices whole-grain bread
• ripe avocado
• 2 tbsp Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey
• ¼ cup shelled pistachios roughly chopped
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes optional, for a spicy kick
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish optional

Instructions

• Toast the Bread:

  Start by toasting the slices of whole-grain bread to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster, oven, or a stovetop griddle with a touch of olive oil for added flavor.
• Prepare the Avocado:

  While the bread is toasting, cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
• Season the Avocado:

  Add a pinch of salt and, if you like a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mashed avocado. Mix well to combine the seasoning evenly.
• Assembly:

  Once the toast is ready, spread the seasoned mashed avocado evenly over each slice.
• Drizzle with Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey:

  Now, for the star of the show, drizzle 1 tablespoon of Cairo Apiaries Raw Honey over each avocado-covered toast. The raw honey will add a natural sweetness and depth of flavor.
• Add the Crunch:

  Sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios evenly on top of the honey-drizzled avocado.
• Garnish and Finish:

  Finish your Honey Pistachio Avocado Toast with a dash of freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. For an extra touch of freshness and presentation, garnish with a few fresh mint leaves.
• Serve:

  Serve your Honey Pistachio Avocado Toast immediately while the bread is still warm, and the flavors are at their peak. Enjoy this delightful and nutritious treat for breakfast, brunch, or as a satisfying snack.
