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.

    I made a similar Deborah Madison version of this dish recently (from her Vegetarian Suppers book) but decided to try Pati's version too to use up pantry ingredients. They are very similar but Pati's version is a bit more streamlined and just as tasty so this is the recipe I would use in the future. I did sub 3 toasted and softened pasilla chiles instead of the chipotle called for (as used by Deborah Madison too) because I didn't have chipotles, so I will try chipotles later to see if they make a big difference in flavor.
