 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      teaspoon      olive oil
    1      cup           onion -- finely chopped
    2      cups          vegetable broth
    1      cup           bulgur
      1/3  cup           raisins
    1      teaspoon      lime zest -- grated
      1/2  teaspoon      cinnamon
      1/4  teaspoon      dill weed
      1/8  teaspoon      salt
      1/8  teaspoon      dried thyme
    2      tablespoons   pine nuts -- toasted
 
 Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Add onion.  Cook 5 minutes,
 stirring frequently and adding small amounts of water if necessary, about a
 tablespoon at a time to prevent sticking.
 
 Add water or broth and bring to a boil. Stir in remaining ingredients, except
 pine nuts, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook 10 minutes.  Remove from heat
 and let stand covered 5 minutes.  Fluff bulgur with a fork and spoon into a
 shallow serving bowl.  Top with toasted pinenuts.
