My review
Cock-A-Leekie Stew
GYPSY-WITCH
"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."

I am kind of strange when it comes to "traditional" recipes, and how to review them. On the one hand, how does the recipe taste? On the other, does it really live up to the name? In this cas...

My son and I enjoyed this recipe but neither of us is crazy about barley. I thought I'd try it with brown rice.

Really a yummy, filling, stick to your ribs kind of soup/stew. Made as directed for the most part. I did make my own chicken broth and used that in place of the chicken bouillon. And since this ...

I didn't think that -a-leekie should be thin like a soup. I cut back on the water and used grilled chicken breasts instead of a whole bird. Otherwise, great dish!
