Chickpeas with Spring Leeks (makes 4 servings)

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 leeks, cut lengthwise, cleaned, and cut in half-inch slices
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or chives
2 cups chickpeas, cooked or canned
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Black pepper to taste

Heat the olive oil in a medium-size saucepan. Add the leeks, garlic, salt, and herbs. Cook on medium-low heat, stirring often, until the leek is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chickpeas and heat through. Add the lemon juice and serve.
