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, rich, and quick. Next time I'll cook the bacon first, then use the fat to cook the onion and garlic. I used fresh English peas and tossed them in towards the end of cooking the bacon to get them cooked a bit.
