Recipe Notes

Once again, foods from the Mediterranean make the best recipes and the healthiest foods. Many of them have much more oil in them than necessary, however and this recipe is an example of how to make small changes. Here the combination of the robust sesame oil with just a touch of honey brings out the other flavors and the oil doesn’t dominate.

"As for the garden of mint, the very smell of it alone recovers and refreshes our spirits, as the taste stirs up our appetite for meat."

Pliny, Roman Historian
