Ingredients

  • 400 g Freekeh, rinsed (cracked wheat) (£2.20)
  • 160 g (1 pack) tenderstem broccoli (£1.00)
  • 1 bunch fresh dill (£0.50)
  • 200 g jalapenos houmous (£0.69)
  • 275 g coleslaw mix with mayo (£1.10)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp onion and garlic powder
  • chilli flakes
  • Salt & pepper
  • 2 litres of chicken stock/veggie stock (2 cubes)

Instructions

  • 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.
