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

Accompaniments: Rice with green beans (Lubia polow); Rice with tomato sauce (Eslamboli polow); Green bean khoresh (Khoresh-e lubia sabz); Eggplant khoresh (Khoresh-e bademjan)

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.

    This is a very simple salad so it really needs the best and freshest ingredients to shine. I like the flavor of tomato skins and seeds so didn't take the step of removing them. I had pretty small scallions and definitely could have used more.
