Now for this salad!

The Levinsky Street shook, Amrani Spices at the Carmel Market, Eden Teva Market … if you don’t get around to buying it yourself, I can bring some next time we meet.

I like your (Moshe’s) story about Joseph. I hadn’t heard that one. It does make good sense.

Chef Moshe Basson of the Eucalyptus restaurant told me his theory regarding freekah. He asked me how our ancestor Joseph could have stored the wheat from the 7 fat years (against the future 7 lean years)- safe from insect damage. It had to have been freekah, because the smoking destroys insects and their eggs. Makes sense to me!

Yes, it is my creation, although there are other similar recipes out there :-) Maybe someday I’ll write a book.

This meal looks very exotic and yummy. Great recipe for vegeterians. Is it your creation? Ever thought of writing a book?

Never heard of the term freekeh.
Have a nice weekend!

I bought some from a company who’s distributing here in the United States. Fabulous taste and their product does not have to be cleaned…it’s ready to cook!
