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.

Notes about this recipe

    Made in instant pot. Used 400 ml water and more than 1kg of greens. I could have used less water. It is good but next time I will make it on the hob.

    Ultimate comfort. This was delicious. Swapped the chard for Cahill Nero as couldn't find chard.

    Absolutely LOVED this. Mung beans are often overlooked, but this was divine.

    Ah, mung beans and greens - always a match made in heaven. Altho the notes say this is a Persian dish, the flavours mirror those of South India - perhaps it is a dish from the Parsi (Indian-Persian) cuisine. I have to say that I am always exasperated with Ottolenghi when I read/cook his Indian-style dishes. He does them a big disservice by not treating mustard seeds properly (should be popped to bring out their nutty flavour otherwise they can be bitter/acrid). And in this dish he doesn't cook out the tamarind. Sigh. But I love Ottolenghi's dishes and so cook them with my modifications, or am inspired by them and cook a similar dish. So despite these things that absolutely frustrate me, we liked this (suitably modified) dish. As is often with Ottolenghi's dishes, the toppings make it, so don't skimp.

    A very satisfying and filling dish. Will definitely repeat.

    Very straightforward recipe which you can adapt for pretty much any greens you have available. I've added frozen spinach which turned out very well. I've served it with rice or cous cous and it went well with both.

    So delicious, don’t sleep on this one. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this and neither of us are vegetarian. I pretty much followed the recipe as written and served it with some locally made pitas. I’ll definitely make this again.
