Things to know about Freekeh Recipe

This wheat pilaf is an original Ancient recipe. It was even found in a thirteenth-century Baghdadi cookbook. In the medieval era, people used to eat it as we eat rice today it was a sort of staple dish.

We use half-ripe wheat. When the wheat kernel is still green, it is harvested and sun-dried. It is washed and drained and cooked with meat. Green wheat is highly nutritious and is considered a superfood.

This dish is still popular in Iraq. For more flavor, traditionally it is served with a roasted whole chicken that is placed on top of rice on a platter. You can substitute chicken with pigeon or lamb too.
