Kamut and Roasted Cauliflower Risotto

Serves 4

This is a must-try recipe for fans of whole grains. Processing soaked Kamut® 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 cups Kamut, soaked 8 hours or overnight in cold water to cover
1 cup dry white wine
1 large shallot, finely chopped
4 to 5 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 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. Place Kamut in 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 Kamut is tender but still retains 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 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.
