Sweet Baby Broccoli and Bulgur Wheat Salad with Caramelized Shallots and Walnuts

Picture
Recipe by Chadwick Boyd, Food and Lifestyle Expert, Josie’s Organics

Yield: 4 to 6 servings
  2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  1 cup bulgur wheat
  zest of 1/2 lemon
  2 tablespoons olive oil
  4 large shallots, finely sliced (may substitute 1 medium onion and 2 cloves garlic,               chopped)
  1 bunch Josie’s Organics sweet baby broccoli, washed and bottoms trimmed, cut into          1/4-inch pieces
  1/4 cup walnut pieces, toasted (optional)
  kosher salt to taste

In a medium pot, bring broth to a boil on medium-high heat. Stir in bulgur wheat and turn heat down to medium-low. Let cook about 10 minutes until all liquid is absorbed. Take off heat and stir in lemon zest. Set aside. (You can also use a rice cooker to make bulgur.)

Heat olive oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add shallots and cook 5 to 7 minutes until caramelized, stirring frequently so shallots brown evenly. Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate. Place baby broccoli in pan and let cook 5 to 7 minutes until tender and edges are slightly brown. Toss with tongs every couple of minutes.

Add bulgur wheat and shallots to sweet baby broccoli. Toss together well and heat through about 2 minutes. Fold in walnuts. Season with salt and serve.

DRESS IT UP!

For a little zing and added surprise, take a microplane to half of a lime and toss cauliflower in the zest just before serving. Carrots make a fine companion to cauliflower, too. Throw in a handful of 1-inch-thick cut (unpeeled) carrots—and a dash more of Sriracha—just before popping in the oven to roast. The added color and flavor will definitely impress your family or dinner guests.
