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

Accompaniments: Always salad

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

    Big hit with friends. The filling is exceptionally fast to prep! Made this with kefir instead of buttermilk and masa harina (reduced to 40g to account for increased liquid absorption) instead of cornmeal, because that’s what I had on hand. The corn masa added a very nice flavor element. Looking forward to trying a slice with guava jam.
