The Recipe Corner - Tabouli

Tabouli 1 cup bulgur wheat 1 cup boiling water olive oil 3 cloves garlic 1/2 bunch parsley handful of fresh mint 1 cucumber 1 large tomato, or 2 medium ones juice of 1 lemon more olive oil salt and pepper to taste Toast bulgur in enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. It'll start to become fragrant after a couple of minutes, so go ahead and add the water. Cover the pan with a lid, turn off the heat under it, and let steam for 20 minutes. While the bulgur is contemplating it's future as a tasty foodstuff, chop remaining ingredients. When bulgur has absorbed all the water, add garlic, olive oil and lemon juice to it. Cover and let sit for a few minutes, until it has cooled off a bit. Add parsley, mint, and cucumber, and then put in the fridge to let it cool until you're ready to eat it. Upon removing the tabouli from the fridge, add tomatoes and adjust seasonings. Eat. From tofunutloaf.

Originally from Wisconsin, I moved to the Highlands of Scotland when I got married. Now I live in Forres, made famous by MacBeth, and I also live about 40 miles from the infamous Loch Ness Monster. 


My jewelry designs are inspired by lots of stuff--nature, mythology, history/historical clothing (I have a BA in History), anime, basically whatever catches my fancy on any given day. Even just seeing a gorgeous bead can get my mind racing...a feeling I'm sure lots of us can relate to.

The Recipe Corner - Multi-grain Blueberry Pancakes

You won't know how wonderful it can be to get away from standard flour until you have tried something like these pancakes. Adding a generous portion of blueberries makes them great for those picky eaters who refuse fresh fruit. (Recipe doubles easily)

1/3c white rice flour
1/3c oat flour
1/3c flour
1tbsp sugar
1tsp baking powder
1/2tsp baking soda
1/2tsp salt
1tbsp oil or melted butter
1 large eggs
1 scant cup buttermilk
1c fresh or frozen blueberries (drained) *wild blueberries are best

Combine all dry ingredients in a small to med mixing bowl. Add liquids next. Either beat the eggs before adding or open directly into bowl and break up slightly before adding buttermilk. Mix until flour is moistened. There will be lumps. Fold in blueberries. Allow the batter to develop for 5-10 min.

While the batter rests, heat a griddle to 350f or a large frying pan to med heat. Coat lightly with cooking spray. When prepared, scoop 1/4c of batter at a time and pour onto griddle. Flip when edges are beginning to set (when you touch the spatula to the pancake as if to lift the pancake, no batter sticks to the spatula.)

Top the pancakes as you like and enjoy! Makes 10-12 pancakes, about 4 servings.
