Instructions
Heat the ghee in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and sauté until starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the peas and cook until warm, about 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the honey, sumac, salt, and black pepper.
Transfer to a serving dish and top with the parsley.
Serve warm, along with lemon wedges to squeeze on top.
Notes
Leek:
Leek typically grows in sandy soil, so make sure you rinse it well to remove all the sand and grit.
Switch Up the Flavor:
For a completely different flavor profile, omit the sumac and use
za'atar
instead.
Storage:
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
