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

    Allow dried beans to soak overnight, or substitute with jarred or canned beans. The book's "Salsa verde" called for in this recipe can be made in advance.

    This was great, although the method of cooking the chicken didn't work for me. Followed exactly but after resting it was undercooked in the centre for a large chicken, so would give it a bit longer in the oven next time. But the beans and salsa verde were fantastic and would make again with modifications to the chicken cooking times.
