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.

    See recipe for herb suggestions. Can substitute cherry tomatoes for Sungold tomatoes.

    Not bad but lightly flavoured. I added extra herbs to the balls and then served over bulgur

    An unexpected disappointment, this dish was so bland. I’d consider making again but upping the spices in the meatballs

    A 1/2 recipe = 10 oz of meat (awkward to find in the freezer) so I used 8 oz of ground beef + 2 oz of mild sausage and I used basil & parsley. His size advice (including a reference to Ikea's, which neither of us has ever had) was not really helpful so I made 8 (45g) meatballs. I started them in the oven before adding to the spiced cherry tomato sauce. The meatballs themselves were a bit underwhelming, but when broken up in the sauce (actually Ottolenghi's ancho spiced version from my freezer), this was very tasty eaten with toasty garlic buns.
