If you’ve never tried freekeh before, prepare to be amazed. The grain’s slightly smoky, nutty flavor comes from being fire-roasted after harvest. This apples-and-honey inspired dish is amped up by salty Parmesan, crunchy walnuts, and everyone’s favorite: roasted Brussels sprouts.

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of water, the freekeh, and a large pinch of salt to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.

Prep the Brussels sprouts
2

Meanwhile, trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Thinly slice half the Brussels sprouts into shreds. Toss the other half of the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet with ½ tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Toast the walnuts
3

Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Add the walnuts and cook, tossing, for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and toasted. Set aside.

Cook the shredded Brussels sprouts
4

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add the shredded Brussels sprouts and cook, tossing, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

5

Make the honey citronette: halve, peel, and mince the shallot. Zest and halve the lemon. In a large bowl, whisk together the shallot, honey, lemon zest, juice of half the lemon, 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Toss everything together
6

Core and dice the apple. Toss the freekeh, shredded Brussels sprouts, Parmesan, walnuts, and apple into the citronette then season with salt and pepper.

7

Plate the freekeh salad then top with the roasted Brussels sprouts. Enjoy!
