Ican tell you one thing straight away: This salad has a lot of kick! So if you like it really hearty when grilling and love nice smoky notes and roasted flavours, then this Freekeh salad with grilled vegetables is just your thing! Maybe \u00e4h…. you’ll even leave your barbecue meat behind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freekeh: Kissed by Fire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So, now I’ve really gone out on a limb, haven’t I? Leaving grilled meat lying around and all that nonsense (veggie BBQ for life!). You don’t have to, of course. But once you’ve tried the Freekeh salad, you might understand why I was so provocative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t know Freekeh<\/a> yet: It’s a wheat that you harvest while it’s still unripe (i.e. still green behind the ears) and roast directly. Game of Thrones fans will now say it is “kissed by fire”. The whole story of Freekeh actually stems from a real tragedy when, umpteen thousand years ago, a village under attack wanted to save its wheat in a hurry and harvested it as unripe as it was. The wheat caught fire in a barn during the attack (so they say, I wasn’t there). Only after all the fires had gone out did the villagers rub the wheat in their hands to remove the chaff and see if it was still edible. The name Freekeh comes from the Arabic word for “rub” (firik).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This process not only preserves the wheat, but it is also packed with nutrients – green harvesting also means that most of the nutrients are still in it. I’m just saying: almost 15g protein per 100g Freekeh – your protein drink can almost pack it in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Superfood, super salad!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The consistency of Freekeh is similar to green spelt or wild rice, but the taste explodes with smoky and hearty flavours in your mouth. So there’s no room for boredom here! Now you may have an idea why we are approaching a real highlight of barbecue salad here. Freekeh is already so full of flavour and roasted aromas that it really does go perfectly with grilled vegetables. I’ve chosen peppers, courgettes and aubergine here. But of course you can let your imagination and creativity run wild. Chopped parsley and mint freshen up the hearty salad. And for a nice and balanced acidity, we go straight for four aromatic ingredients: Feta, lemon juice, pomegranate seeds and sumac<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The salad goes fantastically well with grilled fish, meat or halloumi – or just on its own for filling \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
