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

    This is my first recipe from this cookbook. I really like Adam, and most of the meals he creates, and this one was an interesting one. He used a traditional Chinese recipe and converted it into a more Mediterranean meal. I really liked the giant meatball, it had lovely flavours and was very light. He didn't use the traditional ingredients, using a mixture of pork and beef mince, semi-firm tofu and zucchini instead. The tomato sauce, however, even though it was nice, after cooking it in the oven for about one and a half hours, I found it a bit too tomatoey and needed to be more balanced. It improved by adding the parmesan cheese at the end. I have never eaten the traditional Lion's head meatballs, and therefore I cannot compare them, but I am now eager to try them sometime.
