Recipes Ingredients

2 cups Ziyad Brand Freekeh (Picked over, rinsed a few times and drained. )
3 cups Chicken stock (Or water)
2 tbsp Sultan Brand Olive Oil Salt and pepper to taste
½ tsp Ziyad Brand Allspice
¼ tsp Ziyad Brand Cinnamon

A few grates of fresh nutmeg
1 Bay leaf

Process

Step 1

In a heavy pot heat the oil. Add the cleaned freekeh, spices, bay leaf, and toss to combine.

Step 2

Add the stock or water and bring the mixture to boil adjusting the seasoning. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook for 35-40 minutes until all the liquid has absorbed and the freekeh is cooked through.

Step 3

The freekeh shouldn’t be crunchy but it needs to hold its shape, it’s naturally chewy and al Dante. Fluff with a fork and it’s ready to serve.

Step 4

Serving suggestions: Top with roasted nuts. Serve with Dana Plain Yogurt and roasted chicken.
