Unusual and exciting grains such as freekah (green wheat) are becoming very popular. It has a chewy texture and light smoky taste. Middle Eastern cuisine got a boost of popularity from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi and their cookbook Jerusalem, and this recipe was inspired by a soup in that book. Freekah is available at Middle Eastern stores and was even spotted at Costco. Lentils or rice can be used instead freekah for a gluten-free version.
