method
1. Soak the cracked wheat in water for 15 minutes. Drain it, tip it into a clean tea towel and wring tightly to remove the excess moisture. Turn the cracked wheat into a bowl, sprinkle with salt and lemon juice and set aside for 1 hour.
2. Cut the tops from the tomatoes. Using a teaspoon or vegetable bailer, scoop out the flesh and seeds and chop. Dry the tomato cases with absorbent kitchen paper.
3. Stir the chopped tomato, spring onion, herbs and oil into the cracked wheat and season it with pepper.
4. Spoon the salad into the tomato cases. Place the tomato cases on a serving dish lined with salad leaves or vine leaves and garnish with mint springs and lemon.
If necessary, cut a very thin slice from the base of each tomato so that they stand evenly on the serving dish. Choose tomatoes that are ripe but still quite firm.
