INSTRUCTIONS
In a large saucepan, heat one tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Saute onion until fragrant; throw in wheat berries. Stir to coat the wheat berries in the oil. Pour in broth or water and bring to a boil. Stir in cilantro and lime juice. Once boiling, cover and turn heat to low. Cook for 45-60 minutes, or until wheat berries are beginning to soften.
Meanwhile, slice cucumber and onion. Place in a bowl and put remaining tablespoon olive oil, sesame oil and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
If you're using fresh chickpeas you can eat them raw, or steam them for a few minutes in a pan fitted with a steamer. Otherwise, drain your can of chickpeas into a colander, then rinse.
To assemble: Spoon wheat berries onto a plate. Garnish with cilantro. Place tomato slices and cucumber slices on the plate next to the wheat berries. Spoon the chickpeas on the plate. Season with salt and pepper.
