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.

    Made as written a couple times. Really enjoyed this on the second attempt but ended up with some grit on the first one even after what I thought was a thorough cleaning. I think the instructions don’t put enough emphasis on or tips for getting all the grit out of the jamaica for people (like me) who don’t work with it often. I’d recommend soaking a few times instead of or in addition to rinsing, whatever you want to do but really make 100% sure to get it all, which can be a little tough to tell, and there’s no saving it if there’s any left.
