I might try this one with Freekah as I have some in the pantry.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I haven't heard of freekah before. I checked on internet and it seems similar to bulgur. I believe it could be a good substitute though I've never used it

Thanks farfallina - sounds good as usual.  Yes Freekah is a good substitute - green ? wheat.
