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.

    Can substitute butternut squash for crown prince.

    Easy recipe, not too involved. Agree with everyone regarding the picada being the most interesting thing here. I used Beluga Lentils. Probably wouldn't bother doing this again.

    I was a little underwhelmed. I agree with @veronicafrance that the picada was the most notable component & it was tasty, but overall, it still wasn’t enough to bring this into regular rotation.

    This was good, but I have to say the only thing that lifts it above the ordinary is the picada, which is excellent. It looks like quite an involved recipe, with four separate elements, but actually each element is very simple, so hands-on time is not excessive and the tasks are sequential: put the chicken in the oven, prepare and roast the squash, get the lentils going, make the picada while they are cooking, rest the chicken while you finish off the other items. PS I have no idea what black lentils are, so I used Puy lentils.
