I mostly got a kick out of the name because I can’t pronounce it any other way than ‘friekeeeeeehhhhh’. Anyway, it took me a while to try this new product because I wasn’t sure what to make with it. The best things often happen by accident, I’ve noticed, and that was the case here: I threw in whatever I had in the kitchen and it turned out fantastic! I ate this cold for lunch, but you can of course also have it warm as a light dinner. Enjoy the freekehness!

Equipment

  • Large bowl

Ingredients

  • 75 g freekeh
  • juice of 1/2 lemon
  • half a can of chickpeas
  • half a cucumber
  • 1 avocado
  • 2 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp galangal
  • a drizzle of olive oil
  • a handful of pumpkin seeds
  • salt & pepper

Freekeh with avocado and cucumber

    1. Cook the freekeh according to the instructions on the package.

    2. Dice the cucumber and avocado and place them in a bowl with the chickpeas. Add the freekeh, spices and olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with a handful of pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!

Freekeh is an ancient grain that’s rich in fiber and protein. Together with the healthy fats from the avocado and the pumpkin seeds, this is a lunch that will keep you satisfied all afternoon. Adjust the spices to your liking for a personal touch.

Serve this salad immediately after preparing so the avocado stays nicely fresh. You can cook the freekeh a day ahead and store it in the fridge, making this lunch even quicker to assemble.
