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.

    Can substitute rose harissa for the book’s “Shatta”, and feta cheese for haloumi cheese.

    I used green beans in place of okra to ensure my kids would eat this and boy did they! The combination of flavors and textures is outstanding. Someday I’ll make this with okra for myself but until then I’m excited to have this dish in rotation.

    Not appreciated by the carnivore in the house. I think it is asking a lot of okra to carry a main course, but thoroughly enjoyed it. I think you could easily sub other vegetables here - green beans and broccoli come immediately to mind; probably cauliflower too. There is lots of oomph from the spices, garlic, shatta or rose harissa (which is what I used), chili, olives, and cheese.
