Cock-A-Leekie Stew image

This is a Scottish dish that is traditionally a thick soup. I prefer it as a thin stew and have adapted my recipe accordingly. I use the entire leek (needs to be cleaned very carefully), but the green tips tend to be a bit tough so you might want to add them earlier in the process if you want to soften them up.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
½ cup sliced carrots
1 cup barley

Steps:

  • In a large pot combine the chicken, carrots, barley, water, bouillon and salt and pepper to taste. Bring all to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and let simmer for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. Skim broth as needed.
  • Remove chicken from pot and add leeks. Bring back to a boil; reduce heat, cover and let simmer another 15 minutes or so, until thickened.

This stew is a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked it more if it had more seasoning.

This stew is so easy to make and it tastes like it's been simmering for hours. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the vegetables are cooked perfectly. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was the perfect meal.
