    Can substitute mushrooms for pancetta. Recipe calls for cooked beans.

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.

    Loved this. The sauce was so decadent and the Christmas limas were delicious.

    This was absolutely fabulous! I would never have thought of this combination on my own, and never having eaten Christmas limas, I was generally pretty doubtful about how this would work. But the final dish was both special and comforting at the same time. Will make again, not in the least because Christmas limas are set to become a new pantry staple.
