Instructions
1. Combine the ingredients in a large saucepan.
2. Mix slightly to spread the salt and moisten all the grains of freekeh.
3. Bring to a boil over medium to high heat.
4. Once the liquid starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cover with lid and let simmer until grains become tender.
5. For cracked-grain freekeh, this should take about 10 to 15 minutes.
6. For whole-grain freekeh, this should take 40 to 45 minutes.
7. Stir the grains periodically.
