Cook the freekeh: Rinse the freekeh thoroughly under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the freekeh with 2 cups of water or vegetable broth, a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
