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.

    I love these sandwiches. The relish is so good but not very spicy. I had way too much of it as well but put it in a jar in my fridge and now use it on toast, with crackers, and just over rice.

    Such a tasty combo! I had way too much chakalaka, though. Next time would halve that recipe.
