    I thought you have to cook freekeh for a long time, like 50mins and in a lot of water or stock 1liter?. Just checking that 20mins and so little water is enough?

    Thanks blazyb. If anyone says freekeh to me now I'll know they are not being rude. tmrc_emoticons.)

    Freekah is young green cracked wheat.  You cook it in much the same way as other grains, and the result is similar to burghul.  It is chewy, nutty and yummy!  You can buy it in health food shops, or in the health food section of the bigger supermarkets. Enjoy! tmrc_emoticons.)
