Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Cabbage, apple & walnut salad (Insalata di verza cappuccio, mela e noci)

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.

    Can substitute pearl barley for spelt, any cooking wine for dry white wine, Parmesan cheese for pecorino cheese, and the book's "Chicken & beef bone broth" for vegetable stock.

    Used a parmesan rind in the stock which helped with depth.
