Meat Lite: Bulgur 'Risotto' with Roasted Asparagus

Hi:

The Italian risotto story is interesting. People always wonder how chefs come by their recipes but like the article explains, it comes by various means - conversations, visit to restaurants or simply trying out things.The brie add extra creaminess making it look really sumptuous.

Meat Lite: Bulgur 'Risotto' with Roasted Asparagus

Made this tonight, was delicious. Oh, except I roasted fresh tomatoes instead of using sundried, subbed bacon for pancetta, diced some lovely roman artichokes I had in the fridge, only had veggie stock on hand, and used the last bit of robiola due latte instead of brie. Other than that, same thing.;)

Looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

Meat Lite: Bulgur 'Risotto' with Roasted Asparagus

This is the exact bulgur that I used:

All bulgur is steamed, dried and ground--"whole" bulgur would be a wheat kernel.

I cant figure out if the bulgur is whole or ground - it's referred to both ways in the recipe

GoodStuffNW--I was THIS close to using farro instead! I want to give that a try, too.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've been experimenting with farro, the Italian name for emmer wheat, and it's great in a grain salad with pecorino. I'll have to substitute bulgur sometime!
