Freekeh (sometimes spelled ''frikeh'') or farik ((アラビア語:فريكة) / ALA-LC: ''farīkah'') is a cereal food made from green wheat that goes through a roasting process in its production. It is an ancient Arabian dish that is especially popular in Levantine, Arabian Peninsulan, Jordanian and Egyptian cuisine, but also in North African and other neighboring cuisines.〔〔Anissa Helou, "Freekeh", in Alan Davidson, ''ed.'', ''The Oxford Companion to Food''〕 The wheat is harvested while the grains are yellow and the seeds are still soft; it is then piled and sun-dried. The piles are then carefully set on fire so only the straw and chaff burn and not the seeds. The high moisture content of the seeds prevents them from burning. The now roasted wheat undergoes further threshing and sun-drying to make the flavor, texture, and color uniform. This threshing or rubbing process of the grains gives this food its name, ''farīk'' or “rubbed”. The seeds are then cracked into smaller pieces so they look like a green bulgur.〔(Freekeh - Farik - Green Wheat ) Clifford A. Wright.〕 ==History== A similar food made from barley is mentioned in the Bible.〔Leviticus 2:14〕 Freekeh is mentioned in an early 13th-century Baghdad cook book as ''farīkiyya''. In that recipe, meat is fried in oil and braised with water, salt, and cinnamon bark. Then, dried coriander is stirred in with young wheat ("freekeh") and is cooked. Finally, the meal is served with cumin, cinnamon, and fresh lamb tail fat.〔 In Egypt, freekeh is served as ''ḥamām bi’l-farīk'' (pigeon stuffed with green wheat). Freekeh is also prepared in Egypt with onion and tomato, and sometimes with chicken. ''Shūrbat farīk bi’l-mukh'' is a freekeh and bone marrow soup from Tunisia. ''Freeket lahma'', a green wheat pilaf dish with roasted lamb, spring peas, and pine nuts, comes from Jordan, and ''shūrba al-farīk'' is a Jordanian cuisine soup with green wheat and chicken.〔 In Syria, freekeh is usually prepared with lamb, onion, butter, almonds, black pepper, cinnamon, cumin, and salt. In Israel it is eaten in some region as part of a Hamin stew along with chicken, tomatoes, potatoes, red chili peppers and beans.〔http://www.nrg.co.il/online/55/ART1/859/041.html〕 In Jordan (Druze in Jordan) , Lebanon, Syria, and Israel, traditional Druze populations still (make freekeh ) in the old ways. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「freekeh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
