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.

    Finally December holidays and time to cook and experiment with some new recipes. Claire posted this on her Instagram with a few tweaks ground coriander, ground cumin, aleppo pepper and suman sprinkled on top. Its lovely, I cooked it down so it was more a stew than a soup and used three different types of cooked lentils. Served with the best rice pilaf from small victories (I added in some dried apricots which were amazing!) A lovely dinner with plenty of leftovers for lunch.
