    EYB has corrected an error in the English recipe title, which appears in the book as "Saddle or back of roebuck with ginger". Can substitute tomato purée for tomatoes. Uses the book's "Mirepoix", "Brown stock or estouffade (Fonds brun ou estouffade)", and "Brown game stock (Fonds de gibier brun)".

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.
