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

Accompaniments: Couscous and roasted figs with lemon ayib and honey vinaigrette

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.

Notes about this recipe

  • Eat Your Books

    Pork must marinate for 4 hours up to overnight. Can substitute fish sauce for shrimp powder.

    Really nice flavors but this was a lot of effort for what it was. I cooked it in the slow cooker for convenience. It made a fun lettuce wrap
