Honey and Habaneros - Leah (1x24)

Air date: Nov 16, 2015

It's all about the heat and the sweet, as Chef Leah Wildman works with two very different "H" ingredients - honey and habanero. She starts with a delicious lavender honey rack of lamb, where the sweetness of the honey offsets the richness of the lamb perfectly. The trick to making killer lamb every time is to season it well and sear it in a pan before finishing in the oven. Next, she prepares habanero poppers with blue cheese dip. She combines bacon, cream cheese, and fresh lime juice for the filling, which has the perfect balance of textures, flavours and heat. Finally, Leah faces the exciting challenge of combining the two ingredients in a dish that showcases both heat and sweet.
