Kimchi Freekeh Salad

Kimchi Freekeh Salad

Freekeh is young green wheat that's fire-roasted and rubbed to remove its skin. It has a beloved smokiness and chewiness in Levantine cuisine. The kimchi pairs wonderfully with freekeh's texture and smokiness, thanks to its allium scents.

  • 1 liter salted water

  • 1 clove minced garlic

  • Coriander, to taste

  • Oregano, to taste

  • Kimchi, to taste

  • Half a lemon

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

 

Instructions:

1. Boil the freekeh in the salted water.

2. Add the minced garlic, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, fresh mint, spring onions, coriander, oregano, and kimchi.

3. Add a squeeze of the lemon, salt, and pepper to taste, then serve.
