Honey is not just a sweetener. It is one of the oldest ingredients in the world, prized for its flavour, floral aroma and potential health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, antibacterial and easy to digest, it is a versatile product that can accompany us from breakfast to dessert. What’s more, its texture and flavour vary depending on the flowers it comes from, adding unique nuances to each recipe. Here you have our Top 5 recipes with honey: from breakfast to dessert.
1. RUSTIC BREAD TOAST WITH FRESH CHEESE, WALNUTS AND HONEY
A balanced, tasty breakfast with a spectacular texture. Spread slices of lightly toasted rustic bread with fresh cheese or ricotta, add some chopped walnuts and finish with a generous drizzle of honey. The contrast between the creaminess of the cheese, the crunch of the walnuts and the sweetness of the honey makes this recipe a sure-fire classic for starting the day with energy.
2. SPINACH, PEAR AND HONEY VINAIGRETTE SALAD
Honey also plays a brilliant role in savoury cooking. In this fresh, summery salad, combine spinach leaves, pear slices, blue cheese and walnuts. For the vinaigrette, mix honey, old-fashioned mustard, extra virgin olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice. The result is a balanced dish with a hint of sweetness that enhances the flavours and makes it an elegant and colourful starter.
3. HONEY AND ROSEMARY GLAZED CHICKEN
An easy main course with the aroma of home cooking. Marinate chicken thighs or breasts in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, fresh rosemary, garlic and a dash of orange juice. Then bake them until golden brown and caramelised. The honey creates a shiny, flavourful glaze that pairs perfectly with the citrusy, herbaceous notes of the rosemary. Ideal served with roast potatoes or jasmine rice.
4. PAN BAO STUFFED WITH IBERIAN SECRETO AND HONEY WITH HOISIN SAUCE
Inspired by Asian flavours but made with local produce, this bao bun filled with Iberian pork confit and hoisin sauce becomes a true gourmet treat when a touch of honey is added. The natural sweetness balances the intense flavours of the pork and sauce, adding depth to the dish. It is ideal as a starter for special dinners or as an innovative tapa to surprise your guests.
5. CREAMY YOGURT WITH RED BERRIES AND ORANGE BLOSSOM HONEY
To finish off with a light and natural dessert, there’s nothing like combining creamy yoghurt with a mix of fresh red berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) and a drizzle of orange blossom honey. The acidity of the fruit is softened by the honey, creating a perfect balance of flavours. Add a little granola if you want a crunchy texture, and you’ll have a quick, healthy and delicious dessert.
