Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Can substitute cider or rice vinegar for palm vinegar; and Fresno, cayenne, or other long red chiles for Holland chiles.

    I loved this. Pretty easy overall and quite dark and delicious.

    I definitely recommend making this a day or two before you plan to serve it. This lets the flavors meld as well as making it easier to remove the fat.
