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.

    Omg this was amazing! It’s a perfect balance of flavours between the rice, the fish and the pickle. I would never have thought to add date molasses to rice, but it works beautifully and the pickle makes everything sing. It’s not a quick and easy meal, but totally worth the effort!
