. To get ahead, cook a batch of the freekeh ahead of time and top with the broad bean mix before serving.Freekeh is a slightly nutty green grain, which complements the fresh green and minty beans perfectly. You can find it in most good supermarkets and shops, and it while it usually comes uncooked, you can also buy ready-cooked pouches for an even speedier meal.Put the freekeh in a small saucepan and cover with plenty of fresh water.
Skim off any skins that come to the surface, bring to a boil, then simmer for 50-60 minutes, until the freekeh is cooked but still has a certain bite. Refresh in cold water, drain well and set aside to dry.Throw the broad beans into a pan of boiling water, simmer for 2 minutes, drain and refresh under cold water.
