NUTS, HONEY & OLIVE OIL
Albania’s natural energy booster that uses a few of its best ingredients
Spoons with Albanian olive oil, natural honey and nuts
I came home one day to a mysterious jar in our kitchen cupboard and as the main cook in our house, I was both suspicious and intrigued. My husband had made a jar of nuts coated in our homemade Albanian honey and olive oil and said I would love it, he knows me all too well!
A spoonful of this when you need a quick, natural energy boost is perfect and I love that this is made using only 3 all natural ingredients too.
We’re so fortunate to have incredible homemade, natural ingredients from Albania at our fingertips however I know that most people won’t have these to hand so be sure to get really good quality olive oil and honey if you want to recreate this at home.
I haven’t put in any specific quantitates of ingredients below as I think this is one of those recipes that’s best created to your taste. For me, I like loads of nuts and tend to use around half as much olive oil for the honey I put in and measure it out by tablespoons.
