Ingredients

• 2 cups freekeh

Method

1. Wash the freekeh and soak it for no less than 30 minutes.
   Timers: 30 min
2. Sauté the finely chopped onion in olive oil or vegetable oil until softened.
3. Drain the freekeh and add it to the onions; stir until the freekeh absorbs the oil and mixes with the sautéed onions.
4. Add chicken or meat stock.
5. When the broth boils, reduce the heat, cover the pot, and let the freekeh simmer on low heat until cooked.
6. If some freekeh kernels remain hard after the water is absorbed, add small amounts of hot water in batches: sprinkle a little water, cover the pot, and leave it on low heat until the freekeh kernels swell and cook through.
7. One minute before turning off the heat, add the ghee (clarified butter) and stir.
8. Pour the freekeh into the serving dish, arrange the boiled or roasted chicken on top, then garnish with fried or toasted nuts.
