Recipe courtesy of executive chefs/owners of Edi & the Wolf, Eduard Frauneder & Wolfgang Ban

Freekeh, a staple in the Middle East for thousands of years, packs a healthy dose of vitamins, minerals and fiber. These roasted green grains are both smoky and nutty in flavor.

2 cups Freekeh
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoons garlic confit (Toast 3 cloves of garlic in 1 cup of canola oil until soft. Mince.)
4 cups water or vegetable stock
salt and freshly cracked black pepper

1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 tablespoon parsnip (julienned)
1 tablespoon carrot (julienned)
3 tablespoons toasted Austrian pumpkin seeds
2 slices lemon juice

For plating:
pumpkin seed oil
pickled beet cubes
mache
Bûcheron (Boucheron) cheese (sliced 1/4-inches thick)

For the salad:
In a sauté pan, lightly toast the olive oil, garlic confit and freekeh. Season with salt and pepper. Add the water or vegetable stock, and simmer for 10-12 minutes.

In a separate pan, toast the mustard seeds until aromatic. Add the julienned parsnip, carrot and pumpkin seeds. Sauté until vegetables still maintain their bite and finish with lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Mix the freekeh and vegetables together and serve lukewarm.

To Plate:
Place freekeh salad in middle of plate and top with 1/2 cup mache. Drizzle with pumpkin seed oil. Place pickled beets and Bûcheron on side.
