    Method: 

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

    Drain KAMUT® khorasan wheat and place in a food processor. Pulse just until most (but not all) of the grains are broken and become somewhat creamy looking, about 20 times. Transfer it to a large, deep skillet and add wine and shallot. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until most liquid has evaporated. Add 2 cups broth; adjust heat so the mixture just simmers and cook, stirring frequently, until most liquid has evaporated. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, and adding more broth 1 cup at a time until grains are tender but still retain some chew, about 50 minutes.

    Meanwhile, place cauliflower on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt and toss to coat. Roast, stirring occasionally, until florets are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

    Remove KAMUT® khorasan wheat from the heat and stir in Parmesan, pepper and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Fold in walnuts, parsley and cauliflower. The risotto should be a little loose; stir in a few tablespoons more warm broth if it seems too stiff.
