• 2 Eggs divided
• 3/4 cup Milk
• 1/4 tsp Ground Cardamom

1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, dates, honey, orange juice and orange zest. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer until dates are tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
2. Add bulgur and salt, cover and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring often.
