Yield Serves 6 as a first-course

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups bulgur
4 cups (about) chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 1/2 cups frozen peas (unthawed)
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
Additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 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.

I'm allergic to peas, so I substituted them with chopped zucchini. It turned out great!

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bulgur risotto turned out mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

I'm always looking for new vegetarian recipes, and this one definitely fits the bill. It's packed with flavor and the bulgur is a nice change from rice.

This dish was so easy to make and it turned out so delicious. I loved the combination of flavors and textures. The bulgur was chewy, the peas were sweet, and the asparagus was tender.

I'm not a huge fan of bulgur, but this recipe changed my mind. The bulgur was cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

This bulgur risotto was a hit with my family! The flavors of the peas, asparagus, and lemon were so fresh and bright. The bulgur was also cooked perfectly - it was tender and fluffy.
