Hints and tips
• Freekeh or farik is a cereal food made from green durum wheat that is roasted and rubbed to create its unique flavour. If using wholegrain freekeh the cooking time will be longer. Steam at 100°C for 50 minutes.
• This salad can be served warm or cold.
• A variety of vegetables work well with this salad, however the cooking times will vary.
• Fetta can be used in place of goat’s curd.
