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.

    Delicious and so easy to make! Mostly hands off, and recieved many compliments! Served with bread as reccomended in the recipe (I did not have a baguette so I used homemade sourdough) and it was lovely! I could see this easily paired with rice or noodles as well.

    I used oxtail instead of chuck. Also added potatoes. Very good.

    Nice! Liked it and was pretty easy to make, mostly hands off, but not sure I liked it enough to make it again. Happy I tried it, though!

    Try subbing 4 pounds oxtails per cook like a local cookbook
