This is a simple meal, quick and easy after a busy day. There is not much else to say about it really other than – try it for yourself.  A few fresh ingredients combined for a flavorsome, healthy dinner.   I really enjoyed the “wheaty” flavor of the freekeh. It was a nice change to cous cous or quinoa.  

Freekeh (pronounced “free-ka”) is young green wheat. According to the package it contains more calcium, potassium, iron and zinc than mature wheat.
