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
Losing weightIn deciding on a meal plan, it is important to attempt to moderate your consumption of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
Some low carb diet guidlines:
* Use reduced carbohydrate chocolate bars for cookies and muffins. If you have converted your tasty chocolate cookie or muffins recipe using soya flour, it would be crazy to put in those high carbohydrate normal chocolate. Cut up a low carb bar of chocolate into tiny pieces and use that in its place.
* Don't skip meals Most low carbohydrate recipes are, not surprisingly, low in carbs. We all need energy, and carbs are a very efficient source of energy. A low carbohydrate diet requires great care in controlling your intake of energy, as any energy contributed by fat or protein is much slower acting.
