Ingredients
- 100 g freekeh
- 2 medium leeks
- 200 g chickpeas
- 2 Tbsp white miso paste
- juice of 1 lemon
- 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 garlic clove - crushed
- 1/2 red onion - finely chopped
- 1 thumb of ginger root
- 2 handfuls walnuts
- 1 handful chopped coriander leaves
Instructions
- Cook the freekeh according to pack instructions. Alternatively, place the freekeh with 500ml [US 2cups] of water in a saucepan. Heat and cook for around 15 mins. The freekeh should be cooked but still have a bite. Drain any extra liquid and set it aside.
- While the freekeh is cooking, heat some water in another saucepan. Cut the leeks in 2cm [0.8 inches] chunks. When the water is boiling, add the leeks to the saucepan and cook until tender (around 10 mins).
- Meanwhile make the dressing by mixing together miso, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic and ginger.
- Once cooked, drain the freekeh and leeks. Add the chickpeas. Toss with dressing.
- Add the finely sliced onion, chopped coriander and walnut. Toss again until well mixed.
- Serve at room temperature.
