How Primal Pastures Honey Fits on a Savory, Meat-Forward Plate
Honey is great with tea and toast, or drizzled over yogurt, but it works just as well in a savory dinner. A spoonful can round out a marinade, deepen a pan sauce, or brighten a simple side dish, and it pairs naturally with the rich, clean flavor of grass fed farm meats from Primal Pastures. If you love the ethically raised meats from Primal Pastures and are getting ready to place your next order, don’t forget to add Primal Pastures raw wildflower honey to your delivery. It will make a fantastic addition to your meals with any of the following ideas.

A Marinade for Chicken
Honey brings a natural sweetness that balances savory seasonings, which makes it a delicious ingredient in a chicken marinade. Whisk it with olive oil, garlic, salt, and citrus, then let Primal Pastures' corn and soy free chicken marinate for a few hours before grilling or roasting. The sugars in the honey help the skin caramelize as it cooks, giving the finished chicken a deep color and a flavor that holds up well without masking the meat’s flavor.
A pan sauce made with honey brings the same balance to steak that a marinade brings to chicken, pairing a rich, sweet note with the savory flavor of the beef. Once you've seared a cut from Primal Pastures, let it rest while you reduce the honey in the same pan with balsamic vinegar and fresh rosemary. Spoon the sauce over the top just before serving. When you buy grass fed beef online, a sauce like this is one of the simplest ways to turn a good steak into a a great dinner.

A Dressing for a Side Dish
Honey also works well in a simple vinaigrette for a side dish. Whisk it with olive oil, vinegar, and mustard, then drizzle it over roasted vegetables or a green salad. A dressing like this adds another layer of flavor and nutrients to the plate, so a meal that features Primal Pastures' grass fed farm meats gets some variety in every bite, not just from the protein sitting next to it.
However you use it, honey adds real depth to a meal without much extra prep, especially when it starts with meat raised through sustainable, ethical farming practices. That is the standard Primal Pastures holds to with every order they ship, so the flavor on the plate matches the care that went into raising it.
