Chickpeas with Leeks and Lemon
- 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 branch of fresh rosemary
- 4 leeks
- kosher salt
- 2 c. cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 1/2 lemon
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil, garlic, and rosemary over medium heat.
- Once the garlic turns fragrant and the rosemary begins to sizzle, remove the rosemary, setting it aside for later.
- Add the leeks to the pan, along with a good pinch of salt.
- Cook, stirring often, until the leeks are soft and sweet but still brightly green, around 5-8 minutes.
- Tip in the chickpeas, and continue to cook, turning the beans in the oil, for 5 minutes more, at which point the chickpeas should have darkened slightly in color.
- Using a microplane or zester, add a few scrapes of lemon zest to the pan, along with a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Check for seasoning, adding more juice, zest or salt as needed.
- Return the reserved rosemary sprigs to the pan, and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
