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 tangy spicy but simple way to use up veg. My changes: I added a cut up chicken breast and sliced zucchini, and threw in a tin of lentils at the end. Next time I’d add garlic as my harissa isn’t very garlicky, and use a better quality red wine vinegar.
