What goes with Freekeh?
Freekeh is wheat harvested while green and processed with roasting, giving it a characteristic toasted, sometimes smoky aroma. It is sold whole or cracked. The young grain and roasting distinguish it from bulgur, which begins with mature wheat that is parboiled, dried and cracked.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Freekeh?
Use lemon, herbs or a cultured dairy dressing to refresh the smoky cereal. Sweet roasted vegetables echo the toasted note without adding another layer of smoke. Keep heavily charred meat or smoked condiments measured so the grain retains its own identity.
