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

Accompaniments: Beef roast braised in blackened panela (Posta negra)

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

    I just did some salt to taste, and I didn’t add any extra white vinegar - just the juice of two large limes. Had I added the white vinegar I think it would’ve been too acidic - it was already quite acidic. It was ok but I had to modify the recipe.
