THIS WEEK: Pork T-Bone with Walnut Bulgur Pilaf from Mulvaney’s B&L in Sacramento, Calif.

What we love about this recipe is the Bulgar Pilaf. The walnuts add a little extra flavor and crunch to the side ... not to mention nutrition. Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids – in fact 1/4 cup serving of walnuts gives you 90.8% of the daily value for this essential fat. The health benefits range from cardiovascular protection, better cognitive functions, and anti-inflammatory to anticancer. Walnuts are just one of a few tree nuts with a high antioxidant content. Also, a recent study from Spain suggested that walnuts after a high fat meal enhanced artery functions. All we know is that we're nuts about this dish!
