Wheat Berry Summer Salad
  1. Put the wheat berries into a pan with the vegetable stock, bring to the boil then simmer over a low/medium heat for 1 hour to 1 ¼ hours, stirring occasionally.

  2. While they're cooking preheat the oven to 180 Fan / 200 C / 400 F / Gas 6

  3. Cut the leeks into ½ inch (1 cm) chunks and wash and drain well. Put onto a roasting tray with the juice from ½ a lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, the rosemary and a good pinch each of salt and pepper

  4. Halve 1 cup (200g) of the cherry tomatoes and lay into another roasting tray with a drizzle of oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper

  5. Put both the trays in the oven and roast for 20 minutes - after 10 minutes give the leeks a stir. Once cooked set aside to cool

  6. Cook the broccoli florets in boiling salted water until just tender. Drain, refresh under cold water and put into a large bowl

  7. Halve the remainder of the cherry tomatoes and add to the broccoli along with the pine nuts

  8. Whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing

  9. When the wheat berries are cooked rinse under cold water then put into the bowl with the raw tomatoes

  10. Add the cooked tomatoes and leeks and stir everything together until very well mixed

  11. Stir through the dressing, taste for seasoning and serve

  12. If you're making ahead of time, store the salad and dressing separately and mix together when ready to serve
