It’s still lent season, and I was thinking of a vegan dish that I can share with you all. So I thought of making freekeh with vegetables. Freekeh is a grain that I have used before in other recipes, as in soups, meat, and chicken. But today I made it in this vegan recipe that includes vegetables.
Ingredients
- One onion finely cut
- 3 carrots peeled and finely cut
- 1/2 cup of frozen peas
- 1 cup of freekeh
- 1 cup of boiled water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice powder
- Salt
Instructions
-
Soak freekeh in water for up to 15 minutes.
-
Sauté chopped onions with olive oil until onions turn golden brown.
-
Add vegetables: carrots and peas over the sautéed onions, mix everything well together and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes with occasional stirring.
-
Rinse freekeh from water and add over vegetables, integrate everything well together so that the freekeh is well coated with the oil and vegetables.
-
Pour boiled water, salt, and allspice. Mix everything well.
-
Once it starts boiling, cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes.
