Stuffed Oranges W Raisins Chickpeas & Rice
ORANGETAHINI SAUCE
1/4 cup Tahini
3/4 cup Plain yogurt or soft tofu
1/4 cup Orange juice
2 tsp Ground cumin
2 tsp Paprika
2 tbsp Minced fresh cilantro (opt.)
FILLING
1 tbsp Unsalted butter
-OR- avocado oil
1 medium Red onion, chopped
1 cup Brown and wild rice blend (uncooked)
-OR 1/3 brown & 2/3 wildrice
2 cup Vegetable broth or water
1 cup Chickpeas, cooked, drained
1/4 cup Raisins
ORANGES
2 Jumbo navel oranges halved crosswise
GARNISH
1 tbsp Sesame seeds
1 tbsp Chopped scallion whites
4 Cilantro leaves (optional)
FOR THE ORANGE-TAHINI SAUCE: In a blender or food processor, combine
all ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to use.
FOR THE FILLING: Melt the butter or heat the oil in a medium
saucepan. Saute the onion until soft, about 10 mins. Add the rice and
stir to coat with the butter. Add the broth, bring to a boil, cover,
and simmer over low heat until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed,
about 45 mins. Let cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, toss the cooked rice, Orange-Tahini Sauce,
chickpeas, and raisins together.
Prepare the oranges for stuffing by slicing off the rounded ends so
that each half stands squarely on a plate. Using a paring knife,
carve out the fruit, cut it into bite-size sections, and toss it into
the rice mixture. Once the fruit has been removed, cut away as much
of the white portion of the peel as possible, leaving the shell
intact.
Set the orange shells on a serving dish and fill them with the rice
mixture. Garnish each with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and scallions
topped with a whole cilantro leaf.

Diet hints and tips
If you want to lose weight and also increase your general condition, among other things you should commence a carefully planned balanced meal plan. In theory, this must contain five portions of fruit & vegetables every day and involve the right mixture of fat, carbs and proteins.
When devising a weight loss program, it is essential to try to cut down your ingestion of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
When starting a weight loss program, dieters ordinarily focus on department store and big brand products described as 'low fat'. To do this is far too often a mistake, given that a food could be very low in fats, but whilst still being contain excess carbs.
Keep yourself hydrated. Now and then during a busy work day, you imagine that you want a snack when in reality you just need a cool cup of water or orange squash. The sensations of hunger and thirst are nearly the same, but one of them can lead to a broken diet and the other one is fine.
As an alternative to thinking about the types of food that you need to ban from your weight loss program, look at the nutritionally sound foods which you should introduce to your weight loss program. If you are able to bring in some healthy pulses and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll soon find that you feel more full and have a much reduced likelihood of being tempted by those detrimental mid-afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
