Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Basic beans; White rice (Arroz blanco)

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 potatoes and nopales for picnic ham.

    Picnic ham is not a thing in the UK so I just diced (raw) pork shoulder and it turned out great. Had this with beans and rice. I felt the purslane got lost in the dish, if I did this again I would probably mix the leaves through just before serving instead of letting them simmer in the stew for 10 mins. I used tinned tomatillos for the salsa and it tasted delicious (I used the cooking in water method)
