Leeks are a wonderful subtle onion flavor and paired with the wonderful texture and almost artichoke like flavor of the scapes, OMGa Ga! The farmers market also had spring garlic, which form early in the spring before the bulbs form, Soft neck garlic produce these, also called green garlic. Hard neck varieties of garlic produce garlic scapes which would be a nice addiction here too. Don’t be too concerned about getting all of the exact same ingredients, scallions, leeks, scapes, whatever you can get is what you can get. You got this!
This recipe was inspired by the abundance of the spring harvest here in the Pacific Northwest. We are so grateful for the amazing produce. I will stand by my believe that the PNW has in all of the Northeast in terms of produce. Seafood on the other hand, The Northeast is still King.

A special thank you to the folks at Mt.Vikos for a care package of their products, including this amazing imported feta cheese. We first used this cheese in a video on our own dime. This is a quality feta that we find easily available where we live and a great value for the quality. There was no exchange of funds between CIE, Maggie or myself from Mt. Vikos. We like them and they sent a thank you care package.
We will continue to show you what we are using when we can and we will be transparent with all of you when we are sponsoring a product.
However, Maggie and I are committed to only supporting products that we would use in a way we would use them. Bottom line, everything is a tool or ingredient for the job. Supply and demand is location based and we encourage you do the best with what’s reasonably available to you. Hey, as long as your cooking your doing awesome. Mangia!
