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.

    Omitted olives and half the sugar. Used chicken stock made earlier in the week to cook the chicken. Due to a vinegar skin allergy, used lime juice and extra chicken stock for the final cook on the chicken. We agreed it was delicious but would skip the raisins next time. I added fresh cherry tomatoes at the very end, they gave the acid the sauce needed without the vinegar.

    Made this using shredded cooked turkey, and it was delicious! The recipe calls for 3 tbs sugar, but I found it well balanced and sweet enough with just one tablespoon…..and I don’t tend to reduce sugar in anything…

    This is a very good (sauce) recipe which is also suitable with ground beef. I will make it again to use in other recipes.
