Freekeh with Vegetables (Vegan)
It’s still lent season, and I was thinking of a vegan dish that I can share with you all. So I thought of making freekeh with vegetables. Freekeh is a grain that I have used before in other recipes, as in soups, meat, and chicken. But today I made it in this vegan recipe that includes vegetables.
