This simple yet fancy, delicious and nutritious recipe will come in handy as the holidays approach to the delight of family and friends. The combination of flavours, with the sweetness of the stewed fruits and honey and the mild acidity of the tamari and vinegar, blend together to perfection. Sliced boneless chicken breast works equally well for those who prefer chicken. Serve with rice and a simple green salad for a pretty presentation and palate pleasing winter dinner.
Read MoreI was inspired to make these squares as I had a jar of delicious hazelnut butter in the cupboard and thought it would be a nice change from peanut butter in baking. It looks like a lot of ingredients but it comes together quickly and the results are delicious. Don’t be tempted to bake them until they are really browned – they will be too crumbly that way. Enjoy these for breakfast, a energy boost snack or for dessert.
