"Risotto is one of my favourite things to cook. Doesn’t take that long but needs constant attention. It’s so versatile and can be a dish on its own or a side dish and it takes on so many flavours.

Kept this one fairly simple with some nice lemon and herb flavours as I wanted the halloumi to be the star. Flavoured the cheese with hot honey and chilli to give it a nice kick and a drizzle of balsamic at the end for sharpness to contrast against the creamy risotto."

Ingredients

800ml vegetable stock
160g Arborio rice
1tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic - minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
100ml white wine
Juice and Zest of 1 lemon
Fresh Parsley
1/2 tsp dried Thyme
25g Parmesan
160g halloumi cut into slices
1 tbsp Hilltop Hot Honey
1/2 tsp chilli flakes
Salt and pepper
Balsamic glaze to finish

Directions

Infuse the veg stock with herbs and lemon zest and simmered on a low heat.
Heat the oil in a pan. Fry onions on a medium heat for 5 mins until soft and add garlic. Add the rice and stir for a few minutes and makes a hissing sound.
Stir in the wine. Reduce heat to simmer. Add stock, one ladle at a time, stirring until it is absorbed. Usually takes 15-20 mins.
When just about cooked stir in the herbs, lemon juice and zest and cook for 1 to 2 mins more. Remove from the heat and add the parmesan. Season, cover and leave for a few minutes to rest.
While the risotto rests, pan fry the slices of halloumi in a little oil and drizzle with honey, balsamic glaze and the chilli flakes.

Optional:

Plated with some pea shoots, purple radish and garlic chives.

Great product

I love the lip balm so ordered 4 to make the postage costs worthwhile. But was very surprised when they arrived in an (relatively) enormous box instead of an envelope which would have done the job adequately.

Love it

I'm not a big honey fan but decided to try the sweet and salty honey because it sounded different. I was not disappointed, it has just the right amount of sweetness and the salty flavour isnt too strong but just right. It's very addictive and I have it on my cereal every morning and have had to stop myself just eating it from the jar. Highly recommended.

Love Honey

I've used your honey before. It was a gift. I had to buy more. Thank you and the bees for making such a delicious product

Lovely taste

Very nice taste, but the bottom of all the gels turned into sugar which makes getting it out difficult when running or cycling.

Note to self

Purchased gels with a BB end of April 25.. big mistake. They were crystallised. Quick email to customer services advised to pop into hot water before consuming. Who has time to do that and if I want midway through a long run 🏃🏼‍♀️ ndoo ok not see how this works. Regret buying a product that in my opinion isn’t for consumption. They were the only ones available as everything was out of stock. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed this product but just back luck on my part. I will purchase in future with a longer use by date.

Hi Georgina,

Thanks for your review - as mentioned the BBE is visible for users to see on our product listing before purchasing, this is also reflected in the sale price too. The best way to de crystallise any honeys is placing them in a luke warm bowl of water, leave out in natural heat, or even place it on a luke warm radiator.

We appreciate you honest feedback however and have shared with the team :)
