Freekeh is dried green wheat, harvested while the grains are still soft, then sun-dried. It is very common in the Middle East and North Africa, and is used in the same way as bulgur, couscous or pearled spelt. It works well as an accompanying pilaf or a salad, in this case with pomegranate seeds, pistachios, mint and spring onion.

Preparation

Freekeh can be substituted for other grains. If you are trying to get more fibre in your diet it is a good substitute for rice. As it has a strong flavour it is great in pilafs and salads.
