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 quinoa or brown rice for pearl couscous.

    love this. adding pearl couscous and harissa to caponata is genius. great recipe to make when you have a vegan guest amongst meat eating people. you can serve this with crusty bread to the vegan and the meat eating friends can have it as a side dish. makes enough to feed ten armies. for an everyday meal i halve the recipe and my husband and i still eat this for a few days as a side dish. in the past, i’ve omitted almonds or harissa because i didn’t have them and it’s still delicious. the only faff is the amount of chopping and frying, but all is forgiven because it’s yummy. meat loving hubby says “it’s just ok, not a big fan” but he eats it like a starved animal every time i serve it.

    Tasty. Makes a huge amount though and my partner wasn't a fan. Would make again as part of a mixed buffet as the flavour became overwhelming.
