GREEN FREEKEH SALAD WITH PEAS, BEANS AND HERBS
Freekeh are young green grains of wheat, that have been dried and toasted. They are cooked and served in much the same way as rice or couscous and can be served hot as a pilaf, or cold in salads. With a delicious nutty flavour, they are a good source of fibre and protein.
