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.

    This was delicious. But don't make my mistake. I only had half a bag of dried beans and thought it would be too soupy, so I doubled the barley. It turned into a thick stew that resulted in a burn warning on the Instant Pot. Other than that, I really liked it. I did substitute an onion for the leeks and parsley for the cilantro so I could avoid a trip to the grocery store on rather icy roads.

    Wonderful bean stew that can handle ingredient swaps, omissions and additions.
