Recipe

Here's a recipe I came across recently.

Fragrant Rice:
2 cups basmati rice
3 tbsp pine nuts
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions, finely chopped
3 tbsp raisins
1/2 tsp turmeric

soak the rice for an hour, then drain. toast the pine nuts in the oil, then add the onions and suate' them until soft and golden. Add raisins and turmeric, stir and then add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until water is absorbed. Simmer for about 20 mintues.


I know sometimes drs do not want us taking supplements with chemo but are ok if certain ingredients show up in our foods. Just thought I would share.

I wonder how many mg is in 1/2 tsp of turmeric?
