Farik
About
Farik is made by collecting immature wheat kernels (a subspecies called spelt) and drying them in the sun for a day before setting the pile on fire. The high moisture content keeps the core of the kernel from burning. It is a staple in Egyptian and Palestinian cuisine and is often cooked together with lamb.
