Wash the freekeh properly in water in a bowl and then pour the water away. (Please wash really thoroughly, as sometimes small stones stray to the wheat).
Briefly boil washed freekeh with 1 tsp. salt in the water and then put it straight back on the lowest setting.
Put the lid on the pot and let the Freekeh cook for about 15 minutes. The water is completely gone at the end.
Then leave the Freekeh to cool.
Cut the vegetables, squeeze half of the lemon and roughly chop the herbs.
Mix the freekeh with the vegetables, herbs, olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt, pepper and za'atar.
