Bulgur & Rice Pilaf With Walnuts & Dates Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
4 tbsp oil
1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup bulgur, washed
1 cup white basmati rice
2 cup vegetable broth
1 salt
1/2 cup broken walnuts
1 each garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup dates, diced
Recipe Preparation
1. Heat 2 tbs oil in a large wide saucepan. Stir in the scallions and
saute, stirring, until tender, about 3 min. Add the bulgur or cracked
wheat and rice. Saute, stirring, until coated with butter, about 2
min.
2. Add the broth and 1 tsp salt, and heat to boiling, stirring. Cover
and cook over medium-low heat for 15 min, or until the liquid is
absorbed. Let stand, uncovered and off the heat, for 5 min before
serving.
3. Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tbs butter in a small skillet.
When the foam subsides, stir in the walnuts, garlic, and salt to
taste. Saute, stirring constantly, until the walnuts are golden and
fragrant.
4. Spoon the pilaf into a serving dish and sprinkle the top with the
dates and sauteed walnuts.

Food Tips of the Week
Diet tipsAt the start of a diet, people most certainly look at food store and big brand food items labelled 'low in fat'. To do this is far too often a miscalculation, in that an item could be significantly reduced in fats, but nevertheless elavated in calories and carbs.
The argument against reduced carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Although there is some evidence that indicates that low carbohydrate diets can help elimate surplus fat, some of this evidence has resulted in many arguments between nutrition experts, and their safety has been the cause of great debate
Eliminating carbs may mean missing out on required nutrients from healthy foods which must be part of any sensible diet, particularly those obtained from vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Superfoods containing carotenes
(includes cilantro, mangos and tomato ketchup)
These plants contain alpha and beta carotenes thought by experts to help in helping prevent cancer, particularly of the lung, esophagus and stomach. The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every weight loss regime.
