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 loved this -- easy one pot meal with a powerful flavor punch.

    Good flavor but very "muddy" looking. I wouldn't serve this for company.

    This made a really flavourful “one pot”. I cut it in 1/2 and used a sweet potato & some mini Yukon golds. I have a masala curry powder which worked well against the lime zest etc. After using 3 plum tomatoes for the “caramelized” tomatoes, I also added the remains of a can of roasted tomatoes from the freezer. I chose dark rum & we can taste it in the end product. I added a handful of peas and, served with some buttered toasted biscuits, this a great dinner!

    This went down very well indeed with my family. I’ve done with and without rum and if you don’t feel like buying a bottle for a few tablespoons, it’s doesn’t wreck the recipe.

    Despite the long ingredient list this went fairly quickly once all the ingredients were prepped and ready to go. The flavor is intriguing and we all loved it over rice. I used sweet potatoes instead of squash and cut back on the curry and allspice to suit our tastes and it was just right. Next time I would consider adding some fresh green beans or zucchini near the end of cooking.

    This was really good and quick and easy enough for a weeknight meal.
