Preparation

• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast freekeh, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with water, then add a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until freekeh is tender, 30-35 minutes. • Drain, rinse and return freekeh to the pan over medium heat. Add the butter and chicken-style stock powder, then stir until butter is melted and combined. TIP: The freekeh is cooked when it has softened but still retains some bite.

• While the freekeh is cooking, thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. Thinly slice tomato into wedges (see ingredients) and baby leaves. • In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomato and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
