Ingredients
1 cup wheat berries, preferably soft white wheat berries* 1 pound tomatoes, chopped finely 1 green bell pepper, chopped finely 1 cucumber, halved lengthwise, seeded and chopped finely 3 stalks celery, cut lengthwise into thirds and then chopped finely 1/2 small red onion, chopped finely 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce** 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) Several dashes of hot red pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
Soak the wheat berries in a big bowl of cool water for at least 8 and up to 16 hours. Drain them in a fine-meshed sieve or small-holed colander set in the sink. Pour the wheat berries into a large saucepan, fill it about 2/3 full with water, and bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the grains are tender with some chew still left, about 1 hour. Drain again in the same sieve or colander, then run under cool water to bring the wheat berries to room temperature. Drain thoroughly.
Place the cooked wheat berries in a large bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving or store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
