Kamut (pronounced kah-MOOT) is a high-protein wheat, which can be found in health food stores or online. After it's cooked, it's tossed with chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, grape tomatoes, sweet red peppers, scallions, cucumbers, and fresh parsley. Serve with toasted whole-wheat pita breads alongside, cut into triangles, for a heartier meal. Just keep in mind that kamut takes about 1 1/2 hours to cook, but if you prefer, you can substitute bulgur wheat (the traditional grain used in this dish), which cooks in a speedier 25 minutes. And for a non-vegan version of this dish, add one ounce crumbled feta cheese and omit the salt.
