In a separate saucepan, soak the freekeh in cold water for 5 minutes. Pour into a sieve, rinse well under cold running water and drain well.

Remove the pan from the heat and leave freekeh covered for 5 minutes, then remove the lid, drain any excess liquid and leave to cool.
In the meantime, mix the yoghurt with lemon juice, garlic and some salt and set aside.
Stir the herbs into the freekeh mix. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon onto serving dishes and top each portion with a generous dollop of yoghurt.
