BULGUR PILAF WITH MUSHROOMS
From the Natural Gourmet by Annemarie Colbin. Tasty and very easy to make. It makes a ton. The pumpkin seeds give it a nice crunch and the currants give it just a hint of sweetness that goes well with the saltiness of the tamari.

Steps:
- Place the bulgur and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and add the boiling water. Soak until tender but slightly chewy, 20 minutes. Strain to remove any excess moisture.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until soft and starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the cumin and allspice, and stir until very fragrant and the onions are evenly coated in the spices, about 1 minute. Transfer the onions to a large bowl to cool. Carefully wipe out the skillet to use again later.
- Mix together the hummus, yogurt, 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Add the bulgur, ground beef, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the onions. Gently mix together and form 4 patties, each just under 1/2-inch thick.
- Heat the reserved skillet with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil starts to shimmer, add the patties, making sure to leave some space between them. Cook until the patties are cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.

BOW TIES WITH ARUGULA, OLIVES, BULGUR AND TOMATO
Delicous, vegan and good for your health! I'm making more progress moving from vegetarian to vegan, in part because we have new vegan restaurants opening around us. This recipe comes from the NY Times. You can substitute couscous for the bulgur if you can't find bulgur. It might take a bit less time to cook.

CREAMY MUSHROOM BOW TIES
"This pasta dish has become one of our favorites," reports Dodi Walker of Peachtree City, Georgia. "It is so easy! But it tastes like it took much longer in the kitchen than it does. Some of our friends don't eat red meat, so I sometimes serve this as a meatless main dish. It's wonderful with a salad and a loaf of French bread."

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, organic vegetables, and grass-fed beef.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the beef and mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than brown.
- Season the beef and mushrooms well: Season the beef and mushrooms generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Cook the beef until it is browned on all sides: This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the beef from becoming dry.
- Cook the mushrooms until they are soft and browned: This will help to bring out their natural sweetness and umami flavor.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Don't boil the pasta: When cooking the pasta, don't boil it. Instead, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for the amount of time specified on the package.
- Serve the dish immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the broth and become soggy if it sits for too long.
