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. 260 - With green beans and chard in abundance at this time of year, this dish had immediate appeal. I roasted a full chicken, washed and chopped the beans and chard a day ahead so not much more than a quick cook of the veggies and assembly was needed during the week. Instead of dunking the chard in boiling water I stir-fried it in a little bit of oil in the wok (which I omitted from the dressing) then I added the beans (which I’d steamed til al dente) to the wok along w most of the dressing. The idea is to serve the warm chicken over the cooked, dressed beans and chard The night we were serving I simply warmed the chicken in the oven then placed slices over the salad the drizzled with the small amount of remaining dressing. This was really special. The chicken was tender and moist, the greens were fresh and vibrant and the lemon/shallot/basil dressing just tied it all together beautifully. This was such a nice summer meal that was substantial without being rich or heavy.
