Marinated Minty Grilled Eggplant
If you don’t love eggplant, try this recipe, then tell me if you still don’t like it. The eggplant is cut into thin disks, grilled for a bit of char, then marinated to soak up all of the minty flavours. It is so delicious, fresh, and they keep a firm texture, so it’s not the smooshy texture most people associate with eggplant. It pairs well with any Mediterranean dish as a lovely side.
Blood Orange Carpaccio with a Cool Honey Drizzle
This is sweet, fresh, and tangy. The blood oranges have a crimson colour and raspberry-like flavour, which is already a show-stopper, but paired with the cold honey (which is infused with lemongrass, mint, ginger and lime), it is elevated to a whole new level. This is the perfect starter or side dish for a spring or summer dinner party.
Cool Honey
While the world is obsessed with hot honey, I’m obsessed with cool honey. It is zesty, fresh, citrusy, and tangy. Drizzle it over chicken, potatoes, salads, or use it as a sweetener for your cocktails- the possibilities are endless! It is nothing less than pure perfection.
