Cook this hash until it’s golden brown and crusty on the bottom, then top with eggs for a bonus start to the day. Sub in other veggies as you’d like and maybe toss in some chopped fresh garlic with the leeks.
In southern France a “tian” refers to both an earthenware casserole and the actual vegetable-centric dish. A tian is a wonderful way to make the most of summer produce and leftover chicken; use this version as a base for jumping off to create your own favorite combinations.
