We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.

INSTRUCTIONS

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 minutes. 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 minutes.
Let cool to room temperature.  In a large bowl, toss together the
cooked rice, Orange-Tahini Sauce,  chickpeas, and raisins.  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.  Source: Vegetarian Entertaining - by Diana Shaw
