I absolutely love this recipe. The gorgeous richly spiced tomato harissa sauce with chunky chickpeas and the best bit – gooey caramelised leeks stirred in at the end.
You’ve probably seen that I’m a huge fan of a warm dish served on a bed of creamy hummus or mash and this is one of the best.
I’ve added extra harissa and smoked paprika to the hummus to add extra spice and to intensify the flavour..sprinkle generous amounts on Za’atar over the hummus at then. Amazing.
This dish would be perfect for sharing at a festive party and with chunks for fresh bread,
Enjoy xxx



I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

Did you know that I have a new cookbook?
It's called Rebel Recipes and I'm so proud of it. If you like my recipes I know you'll love my cookbook - It took me over a year to develop (and years in the making) and it's packed with deliciously vibrant veg packed recipes!

This looks beautiful. Can this be frozen? I’m only cooking for one but love to bulk cook if possible! x
Yes i think so! xx
OMG.. Absolutely delish and hubby loved it also, incredible flavour.. You also set out your recipe instructions perfectly. Only found you due to a recipe of yours in my Riverford Veg box. Thank you 👍
Aww great and love Riverford!
So happy you liked it!

Yet another amazing meal from Nikki! This one is different from the others I’ve tired which is so nice to try something so different. I make a couple of your recipes a week and will continue to.
So happy to hear you like this and you cook my recipes so often!
Much love, Niki xxx
how much water do you add to the tomato mixture before simmering 30 minutes
Hi Marian
No additional water on this one. The tin tomatoes add the liquid.
Love, Niki xxx
I was wondering the same thing! In step 3 of the instructions for the chickpeas you mention water but not in the ingredients. (I used fresh tomatoes and also didn’t add water. It turned out wonderful.)
Hi Daphne
Sorry about that . I have removed the water from the instructions.

Oh my God, I made this tonight and it was A-MA-ZING! I made the chickpeas and the leek and served it with couscous instead of the hummus and I sprinkled it with Za’atar. I have never made anything this good! It was a continuous mouth-gasm with all these different flavors, so perfectly balanced, so new to me in this divine combination.
This is the first of your recipes I have made and i will definitely be coming back for more. I am seriously impressed and immensely satisfied after this gorgeous meal. 🤩🤩🤩
Hi Daphne
AMAZING! so so happy to hear…
Much love, Niki xxxx
