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.

Notes about this recipe

  • London_Mummy on January 01, 2026

    This was a tasty & satisfying recipe, which enabled me to finish the leftover crème frâiche which was languishing in the fridge, showcase some expensive leftover pinenuts, & use up the half-price cherry tomatoes & asparagus which I had bought on New Year's Eve before the supermarket closed for the bank holiday. The mild flavour of the dish allows the flavour of the tomatoes & asparagus to shine through. I had to substitute red onions for shallots & that worked well.
