Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Bulgur & Rice Pilaf With Walnuts & Dates


fruits, vegetables, rice, side dish, nuts

4 tablespoon 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

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.
