		BROWNLEE'S FANCY RICE PILAF

This is a modification of a recipe that was in the New York Times magazine
section on April 17th:

4 TBS butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (about one medium onion)
1 cup rice
1/2 cup medium bulgur
3 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup dried currants
1/2 teaspoon allspice
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup cold plain yogurt
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts

Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the onion.  Cook, stirring, until
the onion is wilted.  Add the rice and bulgur and cook, stirring briefly,
without browning, until grains of rice are covered with butter.

Add the broth, currants, allspice, salt and pepper.  Stir.  Cover closely
and cook the mixture over low heat until the liquid is absorbed, about
35 minutes.

Top each serving with a spoonful of yogurt and a small sprinkling of
toasted pine nuts or almonds.
