Fraykee With Pine Nuts
(Fried Coarse Bulgur)
|
|
|
Fraykee - is green wheat that is cut and processed just as in bulgur wheat ¦ but it is toasted before it is used. The result is a delicious pilaf. You can find fraykee in many Middle Eastern stores, or you can do as I have done: Substitute bulgur and toast it before using it in the recipe.
