      Hey there, new subscriber here. I just want to say thank you for your easy-to-follow videos. Your video is clean and your audio is crisp.

      It's a wonderful world. I learned about Frikah (also called Friki) from a Chinese guy who lives in Canada (I think). Now, all I have to do is go into any health food store here in Israel and get it. I've also been looking for an alternative to the everyday granola that my Husband puts on his cereal. He says he really liked wheat nuts as a kid. So, this will be perfect. Thank you again for all you do, Wil.

    Impressed! Freekeh is one of the great main dishes that we cook in Lebanon and the Arab world, with lamb stock or vegetable stock if you are vegetarian! Mixed with Tahini and Zaatar, all the best ingredients from the true authentic Mediterranean food!

That’s all you, Maestro. Many many thanks!

    So i have just made and eaten this delicious meal. I discovered freekah recently and it became my favourite grain. I had a few alterations using coriander instead of parsley and picked mint fresh from the garden. I eat oil free so omitted the olive oil and added some water to the dressing and instead I used italian mixed dried herbs and i did not have any pomegranate availabke. I make red onion in vinegar and i always have it available and would never have put it with this dish but it was gorgeous. The dressing just brings it all together. Thankyou!

    Just in case people don't know, you need to get cracked freekeh for it to cook in 20 minutes.
    Wholegrain freekeh takes more like 45 mins!😊😊😊😊

  • @marathorne6821
    @marathorne6821 6 місяців тому +1

    I haven't used freekeh, but we do have buckwheat groats in the pantry which I imagine would have a similar effect. There are also other grains/seeds that work well as the base of a salad, so if you've ever cooked too much it's a great way to use them up. The dressing sounds fabulous 👌 and pomegranate seeds provide a delightful pop of sweetness in a salad, as do chopped dried apricots or dates. Combining different flavours and textures like this is a delight for the palate! Thanks, Will 🙏
