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.

    Can substitute "Red pepper paste" recipe on P153 for store-bought red pepper paste. See recipe notes for variations.

    I cut the recipe in half and made two of these pies. One flat, and one shaped into a little canoe as she suggested. This filling is WAY to wet for the canoe shape-it came out full of liquid. The flat version was good though. These need to be rolled VERY thin if they are to be thin enough to fold. Each one would need to be larger than a dinner plate. (You'd probably need to divide the original dough recipe in 5ths instead of 4ths.) Also, if folding is the goal, they need less filling than this recipe calls for. Note that this is not spicy at all, and I used the full tablespoon of pepper paste. I will add parsley for some brightness and color if I make this again.
