AUTHENTIC TRADITION

What is Freekeh?

Freekeh is young green wheat harvested before it fully ripens. Traditionally, the wheat ears are roasted over a wood fire. The outer husks are burned away while the grain inside remains protected, giving Freekeh its distinctive, authentic smoky flavor. It is then dried, cleaned and coarsely cracked, ready for cooking.

TRADITIONAL PREPARATION

How to prepare Freekeh

Step by step for tender, fluffy and flavorful Freekeh.

Preparing the chicken broth 1

Prepare the chicken broth

First cook the chicken in water until done. Keep the cooking broth, as it will be used to prepare the Freekeh.

Boiling the Freekeh 2

Boil for 5 minutes

Place the Freekeh in a pot and add 4½ cups of chicken broth, 2 chicken stock cubes and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.

Letting the Freekeh rest 3

Let it rest for 1½–2 hours

Remove the pot from the heat and leave the Freekeh to rest for 1½ to 2 hours. During this time the grains absorb the broth and visibly swell.

Bringing the Freekeh back to a boil 4

Bring it back to the heat

After resting, place the pot back over high heat until the Freekeh boils again. Then immediately reduce the heat to low.

Stirring the Freekeh 5

Stir every 5–8 minutes

Let the Freekeh continue cooking over low heat. Stir every 5 to 8 minutes so that it does not stick to the bottom of the pot.

Adding a little broth 6

Add a little liquid if needed

If the Freekeh still needs more liquid, add around ¼ cup of water or broth at a time until the grains are tender and fully cooked.

Arranging the Freekeh on a platter 7

Arrange on a platter

Spread the Freekeh over a large serving platter and arrange the cooked chicken on top.

Garnishing the Freekeh with nuts 8

Garnish with toasted nuts

Toast almonds and pine nuts in butter until golden, then scatter them over the Freekeh together with fresh parsley.

Freekeh ready to serve 9

Serve warm

Serve the Freekeh warm with yogurt and lemon wedges. Enjoy your meal.

💡
Tip:

Using the chicken cooking broth gives the Freekeh a much richer flavor than plain water.
