Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Soak the raisins; cook the freekeh
- In a medium bowl, combine the raisins and sherry vinegar. Let stand while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
In a small sauce pot, combine the freekeh and 1⅓ cups [2⅔ cups] salted water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the freekeh is tender and the water is absorbed, 18 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of the meal.
2
Prep the remaining ingredients
- Peel the onion and thinly slice half the onion [1 onion]. Save the remaining half [remaining onion] for another use.
- Thinly slice the mushrooms.
- Rinse the chickpeas.
- Thinly slice the radishes, then coarsely chop.
- Coarsely chop the pistachios.
To the bowl with the raisins, add the onion and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Let stand while you cook the mushrooms.
3
Brown the mushrooms
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, assemble the chickpea salad and prepare the spinach.
4
Assemble the chickpea salad; dress the spinach
To the bowl with the raisins and onion, add the freekeh, chickpeas, radishes, and pistachios. When the mushrooms are browned and tender, add them to the salad and toss to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper.
In another medium bowl, toss together the spinach and 1 to 2 teaspoons oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the spinach to individual bowls and top with the chickpea salad. Sprinkle with as much Marash chile as you like and serve.
