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.

    Makes about 6 small cakes with 1 medium bunch of chard. Didn’t make the sauce, but the cakes had a nice nutty flavor to it. Toddler ate some too, which was a win.

    Beautiful flavours in these little pancakes. Needed to use up both chard and sorrel from my garden so this was a great option. The sauce was so so we all thought, so we topped with a little tomato chilli chutney. Will make again.

    One of my favourite versions of fritters. Great way to use chard. Sauce is very good. When didn't have sorrel subbed combination of watercress and rocket. Lovely with Salmon

    Bottom line: loved the chard cakes but the sauce wasn't great (too grassy). Might try sauce again made with full fat yogurt (I used 0%) and 60g sorrel instead of 90g. For cakes, used 1/2 chard & 1/2 kale, Panko for breadcrumbs, and Cantal for cheese. Also added 1.5 c yellow onion, sautéed in olive oil with salt & pepper, 1 T minced garlic, & 1 t Aleppo pepper. Also breaded cakes w Panko to make nice crispy crust. To prevent cakes from falling apart, shape, bread, and refrigerate for at least 30 min before frying. Update: To leftover patties, added half and half, water, and fontina, and mixed well over medium heat to make creamed greens. Cracked egg on top of greens, covered pan, and cooked until whites set and yolks runny. So good!

    A wonderful recipe. The chard cakes are really all about the greens, and with the punch of salty feta, are plenty flavorful on their own. The leftover sorrel sauce found its ideal match in avocado, a pairing even better than with the chard cakes.

    This was DELICIOUS. My cakes didn't hold together particularly well but it didn't matter. The cakes were delicious, sauce is yummy and they're great together. Will definitely make again.

    Nice sauce. Easy to make. We ate it with grilled vegetables.
