COCK-A-LEEKIE
This porridgelike soup has Scottish roots. Barley makes it thick, and prunes give it a slightly sweet note; white wine and vegetables, includung leeks, add flavor. It's a popular lunch bowl that hits the spot.

BAKER'S COCK-A-LEEKIE PIE
I've been making this pie every time we get leeks for over a year now. It always goes down well. The original recipe is by Matt Baker (hence the name) on Blue Peter. It was shown on a Hogmany special in 2005 I think. I get three generous portions out of this, though it could probably serve 4, and I usually serve with extra veggies. If I have any pastry left over, I usually cut it into stars, brush with any left-over egg and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake under the pie. My sister loves it!

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius or gas mark four. Then start melting 40g of butter in a big pan. Keep the heat low. Add the chopped chicken fillets to the pan.
- Then add the chopped leeks (you don't have to wait for the chicken to cook - just chuck the leeks in after it). Fry for two to three minutes on a medium heat. Now add 40g plain flour to the mix. Stir everything thoroughly and cook for another two minutes.
- Now pour in the milk and the chicken stock and keep stirring for five minutes or so until the mixture gets thick and creamy (make sure you keep stirring or it'll stick to the bottom of your pan). Add salt and pepper to taste and then pour the mixture into a pie dish.
- Next, roll a piece of puff pastry until it is just larger then the pie dish and around half a centimetre thick. Place the pastry on top of the pie mix pressing the edges into the dish. Any off cuts of pastry can be used to decorate the pie. A little milk or water will help your decorations stick to the rest of the pastry (I use some of the beaten egg).
- Finally, brush the top of the pie with a beaten egg and place in the oven for around 35 minutes or until the pastry is risen and golden.

Steps:
- Place chicken stock in a large saucepan and place over high heat to bring to a boil. Meanwhile, set aside a large bowl of ice water. When stock is boiling, add leeks and poach for 2 minutes. Remove with tongs and place in ice water until cool, then drain.
- Add star anise and chicken pieces to broth. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until chicken is just done, about 30 minutes. Transfer chicken and anise to a bowl and add enough hot broth to just cover; set aside. Return remaining broth to high heat and reduce to 1 1/2 to 2 cups. Meanwhile, in a medium pan of lightly salted water, boil red potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes.
- Add prunes and cream to reduced broth. Boil until prunes are soft and sauce has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, fry bacon until lightly browned and beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes. Add leeks and continue to cook until leeks are lightly browned, another 5 minutes. Transfer bacon and leeks to paper towels to drain; keep warm.
- Season sauce with salt to taste. Drain potatoes and toss with mint. Drain chicken (broth may be reserved for another use), discarding star anise. To serve, place chicken on a plate, ladle with prune sauce, and top with leeks and bacon. Add potatoes and serve.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan until hot. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown, then remove and set aside. Add the bacon, carrots, celery and leek tops, and fry for 5 mins until it all starts to brown. Pour off any excess fat.
- Splash in the wine and boil rapidly, scraping the bottom of the pan. Return the chicken pieces with the herbs and add enough cold water to cover. Slowly bring to the boil, then simmer for 40 mins until the chicken is tender.
- Remove the chicken to a plate, cover with foil and leave to cool slightly. Strain the soup into a clean saucepan and discard all the other ingredients. Leave to stand for a few mins and skim off any fat that rises to the top. Pull the meat from the chicken bones and tear into large chunks.
- Simmer the soup with the chicken, leeks and prunes for another 20-30 mins. Season to taste and serve with really good bread.
