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

Accompaniments: Afghan spiced pumpkin (Boranı kadoo); Turkish shepherd's salad (Çoban salatası); Pomegranate and sumac chicken; Classic Turkish meatballs (Kuru köfte)

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.

    After reading several reports that this is bland, I added garlic and onion powder, oregano, and a bay leaf when I added the rice. The cooking instructions were perfect, resulting in fluffy rice (white basmati) that was perfect with the prawn saganaki from the same cookbook.

    I thought this was pretty bland. My recall is that Ottolenghi has a better version of this dish.
