Typical of rural Iraqi cooking, this stew is made by slowly pressure-cooking roasted freekeh and red lentils with onion and cumin. The whole-grain freekeh adds a nutty flavor and a satisfying texture.
Heat the olive oil in the pressure cooker and sauté the onion for 6 minutes, until lightly golden. Add the garlic and cumin and stir for another 1 minute.
Add the drained freekeh and red lentils to the cooker and toast for 1 minute. Stir in the meat stock and salt.
Close the lid and reduce the heat once the pressure cooker starts whistling. Cook for 25 minutes, until the freekeh is thoroughly tender, then let the pressure release naturally.
Soak the freekeh in plenty of water at least 2 hours before starting to cook, then drain. This soaking time helps the whole grain soften evenly, even in a pressure cooker.
Soak the freekeh at least 2 hours before cooking, or it will not soften fully, even in a pressure cooker. Allergen: this recipe contains gluten (wheat).
Firik ilk kez denedim, kimyonlu kokusu tüm mutfağı sardı ve tam tahıllı dokusu bulgurdan çok daha doyurucu geldi.
Firik bulamadığım için editör notundaki gibi bulgur kullandım ve süreyi 10 dakika kısalttım ama bulgur beklediğimden çok daha fazla dağıldı, yemek lapaya döndü. Bir dahaki sefere süreyi daha da azaltmam gerekiyor.
Firiği tam 2 saat yerine 3 saat ıslattım çünkü akşam işten geç geldim, sonuç hiç zarar görmedi, aksine daha eşit pişti. Duduklu tencerede 25 dakika tam yeterli oldu, firik hem cevizimsi hem yumuşacıktı.
