Where it comes from

Freekeh pudding with coconut milk is a Middle Eastern dish that showcases the ancient grain freekeh, which has been cultivated for thousands of years. Traditionally, freekeh is harvested while still young, giving it a unique smoky flavor and nutritional profile. Surprisingly, this dish not only serves as a dessert but also highlights the region's emphasis on wholesome, nourishing ingredients.

    In a medium saucepan, combine freekeh with coconut milk and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, allowing the grains to absorb the creamy liquid and swell.
