And The Award Goes To ... Bulghur Wheat Pilaf
OK, it is possible that I spent a little too much time watching the Academy Awards last night. Maybe I can blame it on the fact that I lived in, or near, Hollywood for so many years, but I do like to see all the pageantry. I'm not absolutely positive that this recipe deserves the award, it has stiff competition from the udon noodles, but it is quite good, and would know how to work-it on the red carpet. Well, maybe not, but let's pretend. This one is dedicated to my sister Meg, and all the people that made this recipe possible... you get the idea. And the award goes to...
Bulghur Wheat Pilaf
2 Tbsp vegan margarine
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup bulghur wheat
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups vegetable broth
5 dried shitake mushrooms, rehydrated in hot water, then sliced
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground pepper
handful of pine nuts (optional)
In a medium saucepan sauté the onion, in the margarine, until it's tender and slightly browned. Add the bulghur and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the pine nuts, and bring to a boil. Cook on medium high heat for a few minutes allowing the bulghur to soften-up. Remove from the heat and allow it to sit and absorb the remaining moisture. At the last minute toss in the pine nuts.

I shall accept this award on behalf of my tummy. I'd like to thank my sister for always encouraging me to eat greens and berries.
Honestly though you are a great cook, and your food always tastes great. You've come a long way from the burnt hard boiled egg.

It's an honor just to be nominated, always remember that. And welcome to the vegan Kraft table. Maybe I burned hard boiled eggs because it was my destiny to be vegan? Well, maybe. I like that idea better than being hopeless in the kitchen from a young age.
I love you Baby Sister.
