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.

    Used shiitake mushrooms, shallots, fresh sage and butternut squash. Used butter and added some parmesan. Good but lacked the decadence of arborio risotto.

    This was delicious made it with dried mushrooms because I did not have fresh and it still came out really well. The technique of treating Israeli couscous like “risotto worked really well. The couscous sage and butternut squash were great together.
