Chorba frik (Arabic: شربة فريك) is a traditional soup prepared in Algeria and Tunisia that is made with lamb or beef, vegetables, and frik, a type of wheat that has been harvested while still green and then roasted and rubbed to remove the outer husk. The resulting grain is then dried and can be stored for later use.
