Master Emmer (or Freekeh) Recipe
From a cooking perspective, Emmer and Freekeh are interchangeable. From a taste perspective, they are quite different, as freekeh is picked green and toasted dry before hulling and has a slightly toasty flavor.
directions:
1. 2 cups emmer (freekeh)
2. Add to boiling water and turn down to simmer immediatly. Cook until tender and still chewy, about 42 minutes.
3. Drain when done.
For a richer and more savory Emmer, cook soaked grain in a few cups of light chicken stock or vegetable stock. (Mushroom stock is particularly tasty.) Save any extra liquid for soups or sauces.
