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

    p. 110 – The author had me hooked when I read that she shared my distaste for green beans. She finds them boring, I find their furry, squeaky exteriors off-putting and I find many folks over cook them which further reduces their appeal. That said, I do like long beans and happened to have some on hand for an Indian recipe so I decided to re-purpose them in this dish and that proved to be a very wise decision. The combination of the caramelized onions, charred tomatoes and spicy/tangy Harissa sauce really excited my palate and the varied textures and colours of this dish further added to its appeal. We loved this dish and though I’d feared that 2 tsp of Harissa would prove to be too spicy, I was mistaken and glad I’d stuck to the recipe. This is a keeper and a great dish for entertaining since it’s served at room temperature. Photo here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/1017155?commentId=9616520#9616520
