What's Cooking?

OK - I've consulted with one or two other BT members and we all think a Cookery thread is a good idea.
I am intending to try to make it Cooking with Literary Links....
For instance, today is St.David's Day - March, 1st. He is the patron saint for Wales, and the Welsh have the Leek as their national emblem.
So I hope you will all be having leeks in some form for dinner this week.
We are have chicken - baked in tomato and chorizo sauce with leeks, accompanied by mushroom bulgar wheat.
St. David's Day Chicken!
Very simple to prepare:
Put four boned chicken thighs, table spoonful of olive oil, pinch of marjoram and a very little salt and pepper, into a smallish ovenproof dish and cook at 180degrees celsius for about 25 mins. Then, (after 25 mins)add a small tin of tomatoes into which you have chopped a bit of chorizo sausage. The chorizo will give you enough flavour, so you don't need to add anything more unless you prefer more seasoning or a bit of chilli. Chop a small leek up into - diced - and add this to the chicken just before you pour the tomato mix over the top. Leave it in the oven for the last 15-20 minutes.
In the meantime, bring bulgar wheat to the boil with some chopped garlic, and then soak with finely diced mushrooms. Use the instructions on your packet of bulgar wheat. When the bulgar wheat is cooked, add a bit of butter if you like, and a teaspoon of fresh parsley is nice.
Add seasoning to taste - and serve.
I haven't got photos yet....but I will try to put a photograph or two in future.
Any constructive criticism will be very welcome.
