Saut?ed leeks and chickpeasI love leeks, the delicate onion flavor is?perfect. Here in the US are super expensive, comparing to my home country Chile, so this year I grew them in the garden. They do take forever (6 months or more), but at least for me are really worth it, so if you have enough space I?totally recommend grown in them. I didn’t start from?seed, choose instead seedlings. And then enjoy with this recipe?Saut?ed leeks and chickpeas.
