You may not believe it but apples and members of the allium family get along really well. Perhaps because they both share a natural sweetness? I love the flavors that arise from roasting them both. The leeks in particular lend amazing flavors: their sharpness is diminished while their inherent savory flavors are brought to the fore. It’s the sort of flavor that causes you to say “just one more bite” … and you continue to say it 10 bites later. It is impossible for me to make this recipe without stealing a fair bit of their roasted goodness from the pan. You may want to use a large leek…

Have you made agrodolce before? It’s a sassy sauce of Italian origin that can jazz up any and every plain Jane grain, legume or vegetable. Here, the sweet and piquant flavor of the agrodolce is a perfect foil to smooth out the bitterness that the quinoa imparts as well as give a lift to the earthy, roasted produce.
