Fancy Freekah

• 2 T olive oil
• 2 large onions, sliced thin
• 2 c cracked freekah
• 1/2 tsp allspice
• 1/2 tsp coriander
• 1/2 tsp salt
• pinch of black pepper
• 2 1/2 c chicken broth
• chopped parsley (optional)

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan (which has a lid) over medium low heat.  Add the onion and stir and fry until it’s golden brown and soft – about 15 minutes.  Add the freekah, allspice, coriander, salt, and some black pepper.  Stir well and then add the chicken broth.  Turn the heat up and when the broth boils, lower the heat, cover the pan, and simmer for 20 minutes.  Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for another 20 minutes or more.  Before serving, add the parsley to the freekah, if you wish.
