Roasted Cauliflower Risotto

4

Serves 4

This is a must-try recipe for fans of whole grains. Processing soaked KAMUT® khorasan wheat briefly in a food processor releases this chewy grain's natural creaminess and makes it a terrific base for a risotto-style main dish.

    Ingredients: 
    • 1 1/2 cup KAMUT® khorasan wheat, soaked 8 hours or overnight in cold water to cover
    • 1 cup dry white wine
    • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
    • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, warmed, divided
    • 5 cups cauliflower florets, broken into bite-size pieces
    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
    • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
    • 1/4 cup chopped parsley

    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.
