Freekeh is a roasted green wheat and can be used in place of rice, bulgur or any grains and substituted in recipes for salads, pilaf, tabbouleh, or soup. It used to be only found in Middle Eastern markets but now it is popping up in restaurants in NYC and can be found in Whole Foods. To me it was a new product but I have read that it has been around forever originating in the Middle East. I just recently tried out Freekeh “free-kah”. Such a super great night with friends and deelish vegan food! Luke was able to go through all of them and name them!!! SO CUTE!! And he is under 2 years old! On a side note, I can’t help but brag about Lisa & Paul’s overly impressive and adorable son Luke! Lisa had this great deck of cards with all the US Presidents pictures on them. I made my favorite Raw Crisp Caesar Salad with Pinenut parmesan and Artichoke Guacamole with mulit-grain pita chips. It was so gorgeous with the fresh grape tomatoes and basil! Beautiful and super tasty! Joey made this amazing pesto pasta sans cheese of course. But happily it was Vegan ( but still super gourmet :)) And the homemade tomato sauce was also deelish! Lisa Dawn made this OUT of this world lasagna! We have seen her amazing Ricotta Cheese in her Stuffed Shells, but to taste this you would think that this was gourmet ricotta cheese made in Italy. We didn’t end up having dessert, but we all happily had seconds of the deelish food! Salt, to tasteĪs you know I LOVE Potlucks! And now we have a pretty regular Vegan Themed Potluck Party happening □ Last nights theme was Italian Night! ( last month was Asian) SUPER YUM! Not kidding this meal was out of control.
