  • 180g (½ cup) Capilano Honey
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 4-5 limes, sliced

 

Cucumber Pickle

  • ½ cup red wine vinegar
  • 90g (¼ cup) Capilano Honey
  • Zest 1 lime
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced

  2. Preheat oven to 180°C (fan forced). Combine honey, paprika, garlic powder, lime juice and lime zest in a jug and whisk with a fork to combine. Line a large roasting dish with baking paper and place sliced lime slices down the centre of the dish.
