Note: To maximise freshness if you’re meal prepping, cook a half batch of freekeh at a time (half of the above) as well as prepping the broccoli in half batches.
Start by rinsing the freekeh thoroughly. Then, to a medium saucepan add the freekeh, chicken or veggie stock, spices and onion/garlic powder. Stir to combine and bring to a low simmer. Set your timer according to the packet time.
Meanwhile, prepare your broccoli by thinly slicing the rough part of the stalk to allow it to cook evenly. Add all of the broccoli to salted boiling water and cook for 5 minutes. Add to a container.
Serve a portion of freekeh with coleslaw, a portion of jalapeno houmous, creamy coleslaw, broccoli and a sprinkle of fresh dill. Optionally enjoy with mayo or your fave hot sauce.
Drizzle over 1 tbsp of extra-virgin olive oil over each bowl and optionally enjoy with mayo or your fave hot sauce.
