This was a dish that George’s mum Mary originally made, that we tweaked and added extra items too. Freekeh at the time had just started to gain so popularity so we used this instead of the bulgar from Mary’s version. It’s gone onto be a favourite with all of the customers and one of the most downloaded recipes on the Good Food website. In this version we’ve swapped out cracked freekeh for whole grain freekeh and also swapped out French-style fine green lentils for the beluga black lentils
