Ingredients:<r>

• 1 cup whole freekeh<r>
• 2½ cups water or vegetable broth<r>
• Dash of salt<r>

If you are looking for a more precise cooking method, here are the instructions:<r>- Combine 1 cup of whole freekeh with 2½ cups water or vegetable broth and a dash of salt. Bring to boiling. Reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 35 to 40 minutes, until almost all of the liquid has been absorbed. (For soaked freekeh, reduce cooking time to 25 minutes.) Remove from heat. Let sit, covered, 10 minutes more, allowing the grains to absorb any remaining moisture. Fluff grains with a fork. Serve immediately, or store cooked freekeh in an airtight container in the fridge, and incorporate it into your meals throughout the week. Cracked freekeh - reduce the cooking time to 20 to 30 minutes. Note: Soaking freekeh overnight shortens the cook time by about 10 minutes and softens the bran, which can help with digestibility.<r>
