Harissa Dal Tadka with wild honey

Method

1. Start by prepping your yellow onion, garlic, fresh ginger so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the yellow onion and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Turn the heat up, add the dal tadka, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Stir in the ground cumin along with a good pinch of salt, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan.
5. Add the cream and let it reduce until it just coats the back of a spoon.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with cracked black pepper and a final crack of pepper.
7. Serve warm, ideally with something to soak up the sauce.
