Freekeh (yes, it's still a type of wheat)

Freekeh is green wheat, mostly eaten in the middle-east. It's a bit different so it gets its own post. Apparently it looks a bit like green bulghur.

Freekeh Hot Cereal

1 package precooked freekeh

1 cup organic apple cider (pear and apricot nectar work, too)
¼ cup chopped organic dried fruits
½ cup chopped fresh, organic apple (or pear)
1 tsp grated fresh, organic ginger
¼ tsp ground, organic cinnamon
1/8 cup ground organic flaxseed (optional)
¼ cup organic, whole milk yogurt (optional)
¼ cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional; skip for kids younger than one-year-old and/or with suspected allergy or family history of nut allergies)

1. Simmer freekeh, dried fruit, apple, ginger and cinnamon in cider over medium heat until dried fruit plumps and the mixture thickens to a porridge consistency.

2. Take off heat and stir in flaxseed.

3. Serve warm topped with whole milk yogurt and nuts.
