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.

    I agree with Allegra that is is an excellent and easy to make side! I subbed coconut cream for the whole milk (I had some on to use up) and it worked perfectly! In case you need to make it vegan or lactose-free, I'd definitely recommend trying it that way!

    Really excellent, easy-to-throw-together side. The milk thickens to a nice and creamy, slightly sweet sauce that pairs well with the beans. Reduced salt. The garlic paste, despite constant stirring, started to brown quickly so I would only cook for 30 seconds or so before tossing in the beans. Delicioso! A make-again dish for sure.
