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

    A delicious and satisfying one-dish meal. The rice to lentil ratio is perfect, but there's room to bulk up the vegetables quite a bit. I like carrots instead of potatoes, and the other veggies are easily swapped out for whatever's on hand. Garnish with cilantro in addition to cashews, lemon juice. My last batch was so spicy it made my nose run, so be cautious!
