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.

    p. 316 - In my view, this dish doesn’t compare to my T&T fave from Epicurious. This is the first dish from AMFT that I won’t recommend. I served this over Fettuccine. The dish was okay for us but not great. One of the things I love about mussels is their liquor and I love how it infuses sauce w it’s flavour. In this case I felt that the tomatoes were overpowering everything else. Perhaps is only 14 oz were added I may have felt differently but this was very much a tomato sauce w chorizo and mussels in it in my view and neither the chorizo or the mussels really had a chance to shine. I also felt the sauce lacked seasoning. The two thyme sprigs were inadequate to deliver any real flavour to the sauce and the mild chorizo was rather lost I felt. It did add some smokiness but was otherwise washed out. We eventually add some chili flakes to our plates and that seemed to help a little bit but this dish was disappointing.
