Freekeh is an ancient Palestinian grain dish made from green durum wheat that is harvested early, then roasted over open flames, giving it a distinct smoky flavor. The roasted wheat is cracked and cooked into a pilaf with onions, olive oil, warm spices like cinnamon and allspice, and often topped with slow-cooked lamb shanks or grilled chicken, along with toasted nuts. Originating in rural Palestinian villages, especially around Jenin and Nablus, Freekeh is a rustic, nutritious dish traditionally served at family gatherings and Eid celebrations.
