Bulgur Risotto With Peas And Asparagus Recipe

ingredients

5 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cup bulgur
4 cups chicken stock
1 pound asparagus, trimmed, and cut into 3/4" pieces
1 1/2 cup frozen peas, unthawed
3/4 cup freshly-grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
Additional freshly-grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

directions

Melt 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until light golden, about 5 minutes. Mix in bulgur. Add 1/2 cup stock and cook until absorbed, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup stock 2 more times, simmering after each addition and stirring often until liquid is absorbed.

Mix in asparagus. Continue adding stock 1/2 cup at a time until bulgur is just tender and mixture is creamy, simmering after each addition and stirring often until stock is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Add peas and cook 3 minutes longer. Stir in 3/4 cup Parmesan, cream, tarragon and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Serve, passing additional grated Parmesan, if desired.
