Instructions

1️⃣ Soak freekeh in water for 15 minutes. Rinse and drain. Set aside.


2️⃣ In a large and deep skillet like this one, heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil until shimmering but not smoking. Add chopped red onions, celery, apples and garlic. Saute for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat, tossing regularly.


3️⃣ Add drained freekeh. Season with kosher salt and pepper. Add spices. Mix to combine.

5️⃣ Stir in dried cranberries. Cover again and let cook for another 7-10 minutes or until freekeh is fully cooked through (moisture should be fully absorbed.)
