Ingredients
-
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock, preferably homemade
-
9 ounces medium bulgur (1 1/2 cups)
-
1 bunch medium asparagus, stalks peeled
-
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
-
4 ounces marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered (1 cup)
-
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
-
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
-
Salt and freshly ground pepper
-
2 ounces marcona almonds (1/2 cup), coarsely chopped
Directions
-
In a saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Add the bulgur and bring to a boil. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand until the liquid is completely absorbed, 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
-
Meanwhile, steam the asparagus until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Pat dry and cut the asparagus into 1/2-inch pieces.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the olive oil. Add the bulgur, asparagus, artichokes, parsley and lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. Add two-thirds of the almonds and toss. Sprinkle the remaining almonds on top and serve.
