Grape Leaf Pilaf

with Black Eyed Peas and Sumac Roasted Carrots

Freekeh is the latest whole grain to be dubbed a “superfood.” Since it’s dried and cracked rather than processed, the grain retains its high fiber and protein content. Here, we’ve paired the nutty freekeh with tangy stuffed grape leaves, which are chopped into the pilaf for added flavor. Kumquats are a winter citrus, and the peels are edible, and delicious!
