Insalata di Grano con Pomodoro, Tonno, e Capperi
(Wheat Berry Salad with Tomatoes, Tuna, and Capers)
Kamut, a strain of wheat said to date back to ancient Egypt and now widely available in health-food stores, is a good substitute for Sicilian durum wheat. It is very similar in taste and texture when cooked. Spelt, though a bit chewier, is also acceptable. It too is available in health-food stores.
