Ingredients
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)
2
tbsp chopped fresh tarragon
Additional freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
1.
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.
