Spiced pearl couscous with jammy eggplant and tomatoes from Dinner in One: Exceptional & Easy One-Pan Meals (page 126) by Melissa Clark

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.

    Feta can be substituted for labneh.

    I grilled an eggplant, drained it, and chopped it up, and then I proceeded with the rest of the recipe as written. That gave me the creamy texture I was after. But I thought that the recipe called for way too much cinnamon relative to the other spices. Next time, I would use only 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and adjust from there.

    This didn't wow me, unfortunately. At first I thought that the spice amounts were quite generous, but somehow the finished dish was strangely bland. Like the review below, the aubergine did not end up my definition of jammy (or anything like roasted or fried aubergine, which I adore). I added spinach, used feta and had avocado on the side. There are loads of recipes in this book that I want to try (the prawn and asparagus dish was great!), so I doubt I will give this another go.

    Used fresh cherry tomatoes as mentioned in the recipe introinstead of the canned tomatoes in ingredient list

    I did not like this. The blend of flavors didn’t work for me and my eggplant didn’t get jammy. I thought the suggested garnish of avocado really didn’t go with the flavor profile. I doubt we’ll eat through the leftovers.
