• •2 tbsp olive oil
• •3 cups vegetable broth
• •1/2 cup sliced almonds

3. 3Add freekeh, vegetable broth, salt, and black pepper and bring to a boil.
4. 4Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 minutes until the grains are tender.
5. 5Toast the almonds in a dry skillet for 3 minutes until fragrant and golden.
