Instructions
• Rinse freekeh. In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast freekeh, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill the saucepan with water, then add a good pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 30-35 minutes. Drain, rinse and transfer freekeh to a bowl.
TIP: The freekeh is cooked when it has softened but still retains some bite.
• Meanwhile, grate carrot. Roughly chop tomato and baby spinach leaves. Pick and thinly slice mint leaves. • In a small bowl, combine mint and Greek-style yoghurt and set aside.
• When the freekeh has 5 minutes remaining, heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook beef strips and Mumbai spice blend in batches, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat, return all beef to pan, then add the honey and toss to coat. Transfer to a plate. • Return saucepan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Return freekeh to the pan with a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
TIP: Cooking the beef in batches over high heat helps it stay tender.
• Gently stir carrot, tomato, baby spinach and a drizzle of the white wine vinegar through freekeh. Season to taste. • Divide freekeh salad between bowls. Top with Mumbai beef. • Spoon over mint yoghurt and garnish with roasted almonds to serve. Enjoy!
