Ingredients
3tablespoonscorn oil
2poundsonions, finely chopped
1 ¼cupscracked freekeh (see Tip)
3cupswater, plus more for soaking
1 ⅛teaspoonssalt, divided
2mediumzucchini, sliced diagonally (1/2 inch thick)
2largecarrots, sliced diagonally (1/2 inch thick)
8scallions, trimmed
2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil
½teaspoonground pepper
Directions
Heat corn oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, and reducing the heat if necessary, until very golden brown and almost like a paste, 40 to 45 minutes.
Add the drained freekeh to the caramelized onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is just starting to stick to the pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 3 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until the water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high.
Toss zucchini, carrots and scallions with olive oil, pepper and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt. Grill the vegetables, turning once, until tender, about 3 minutes for the scallions, 6 to 8 minutes for the zucchini and 15 minutes for the carrots.
Transfer the freekeh to a serving dish. Serve topped with the vegetables.
Tips
Tip: Cracked Freekeh: Made from young green wheat that’s been roasted and cracked, this whole grain has a toasty, nutty flavor. Use it up: Use it like you would rice for fried freekeh instead.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
