Nutrient-rich freekeh: a diabetes-friendly, fiber-packed grain that's also irresistibly tasty for all.

Ingredients:

18.20 gm extra virgin olive oil
1 brown onion, finely chopped
250.00 ml wholegrain uncracked freekeh, rinsed, drained well (see note)
2.50 gm ground cinnamon
40.00 ml currants
765.00 gm vegetable liquid stock
1 bunch English spinach
21.00 gm lemon juice
40.00 ml pine nuts, toasted

Instructions:

In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat oil until shimmering. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened for about 5 minutes.
Place the onion in the slow cooker, then add the freekeh, cinnamon, currants, and stock. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour 45 minutes until tender and most of the stock is absorbed.
Add the spinach and lemon juice to the mixture, allowing the spinach to wilt, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper, then serve topped with pine nuts.
