For the freekeh: Place the freekeh in a dry saucepan and toast over a medium-moderate until fragrant; 2 - 3 minutes.

Once the freekeh is ready, remove it from the heat and set it to one side, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff the freekeh with a fork and toss with the grilled vegetables. Season to taste and serve in bowls.
