Ingredients

1 tsp kosher salt, divided

1 1/2 cups freekeh, cracked uncooked

2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/8 tsp ground cardamom

1 1/2 cups navel oranges, (about 4 medium navel oranges) sections

1 cups pomegranate seeds

1/2 cup mint leaves, chopped

1/4 cup pistachio nuts, chopped shelled

Directions

In large saucepan, bring 3 cups water and 1/2 tsp salt to boil. Stir in freekeh. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until water is absorbed and freekeh is chewy-tender, about 25 minutes. Spoon freekeh into large shallow bowl and allow to cool slightly. Stir in remaining 1/2 tsp salt, lemon juice, oil, and cardamom. Gently toss in oranges, pomegranate seeds, and mint. Sprinkle with pistachios.
