Ingredients
- 1 cup of ancient grain freekeh
- A generous 4 cups of flavorful vegetable broth
- Another cup of pure water
- A dollop of rich olive oil, about 1 tablespoon
- A couple of spoons of vibrant tomato paste, around 2 tablespoons
- A sprinkle of warm paprika, just ½ teaspoon
- A hint of fragrant cumin, a mere ¼ teaspoon
- A touch of golden ground turmeric, also ¼ teaspoon
- Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of ground black pepper to suit your taste
Step 1
Begin by giving the freekeh a refreshing rinse before letting it sit in a bowl filled with water for a quick soak of 10 minutes. Once ready, drain the freekeh to prepare it for a flavorful cooking experience.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the vegetable broth, water, and a touch of olive oil to create a delightful base. Allow this mixture to come to a gentle boil before introducing the soaked freekeh along with a medley of seasonings like tomato paste, paprika, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Let the pot simmer on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the freekeh absorbs most of the liquid, which should take approximately an hour.
Step 3
Once the freekeh has cooked to perfection, remove the pot from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Finally, fluff the freekeh with a fork to achieve a light and fluffy texture, ready to be enjoyed as a tasty and nutritious dish.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep the Freekeh Fresh : Store the cooked Freekeh in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its chewy texture and nutty flavor.
- 2. Preserve the Tomatoes : To keep the tomatoes juicy and flavorful, store them at room temperature away from direct sunlight or in a paper bag to ripen.
