Ingredients

• 300g freekeh
• 25g salted butter

Method

Boil the freekeh according to the packet instructions, drain well and add the butter while it is still warm.

Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan and add the onion. When it starts to soften, add the shredded turkey and rose harissa, combining all the ingredients well.
