Rinse the freekeh, boil for 8 minutes, and drain.
Prepare the filling by mixing the curd cheese, softened freekeh, greens, and spice.
Remove the seeds from the peppers and divide the filling among them.
Arrange the stuffed peppers in the pot, then add a little hot water and olive oil.
Cook the stuffed peppers over low heat for 20 minutes; do not use high heat so the curd filling does not spill out.
Rest the pot for 10 minutes and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Briefly boiling the freekeh beforehand helps the stuffed peppers cook evenly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the stuffed peppers warm with a lemon wedge and yogurt on the side.
