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 used slices of chicken breast. Still delicious!

    Nigella’s comment about this dish sums it up perfectly. “While this is one of my absolute favourite things to eat, I admit it has a face only a mother could love.” Perfect for younger son’s request for rice with sauce, weeknight dinner-friendly and a definite keeper.

    A definite “comfort” dish. What it loses in looks, it makes up for in taste! It does require 30 mins stoveside-attendance for constant stirring. I would strongly recommend some steamed veg as a side dish as it is very... brown.

    Not a pretty dish - and it has that sort of old-school gloopiness from the flour-thickened sauce, so it really does need the suggested rice with it. Excellent flavour though, and really quick to put together.
