Author Notes
This makes a great side dish. You've got the sweetness coming from both the leeks and the oranges, and the earthy nuttiness coming from the almonds. These mellow flavors are then contrasted beautifully with the sharp hints of the zests of lemons and mandarins, giving the dish more character :) —happyxbelly
