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.

    Delicious, made with slivered almonds and pine nuts and a white onion and still delicious. Great with date and lemon chicken

    I won't rate this since I made significant changes, but I wanted to note those for future reference. I used half the oil and butter, which seemed like a generous amount relative to the amount of rice, but may have affected crust formation. I also used half the almonds (again, seemed like plenty) and the only herb I had was dill. A 12" cast iron pan worked well, but I worried about burning, so turned the heat to low so it didn't get quite so crusty. I fluffed everything together at the end. It was an enjoyable side dish.
