Smoky Pork-Stuffed Poblanos

This is a well-structured and efficient stuffed pepper recipe, but the vegetables are noticeably underseasoned and the use of the word 'leftover' for raw pork is confusing.

Score: 8/10

Suggested fixes

Change the total salt in the ingredient list to 4 teaspoons.
In step 1, increase the salt on the poblano peppers to 1 teaspoon.
In step 2, increase the salt on the corn to 1/2 teaspoon.
In step 5, add 1 teaspoon of salt to the skillet when cooking the piperade vegetables.
Rename the pork ingredient to 'Natural duroc ground pork' and remove the word 'leftover' from step 4.

Issues

medium / flavor: The vegetables are significantly underseasoned based on the 1% salt standard. The 12 oz of piperade vegetables receive no salt during cooking, and the poblano peppers and corn receive very little. Suggest adding 1 teaspoon of Diamond Crystal kosher salt to the piperade vegetables in step 5, increasing the poblano seasoning to 1 teaspoon, and increasing the corn seasoning to 1/2 teaspoon, bringing the total salt to 4 teaspoons.
low / clarity: The ingredient list calls for 'Leftover natural duroc ground pork.' Including the word 'leftover' in the ingredient name is confusing because the instructions treat it as raw meat that needs to be browned. Remove 'leftover' from the ingredient name and step 4.

Strengths

The recipe features a highly efficient workflow, prepping all vegetables while the oven preheats.
The pork is perfectly seasoned at exactly 1.25% salinity for the weight of the meat.
The instructions concisely reuse prepared components like 'piperade vegetables' to keep later steps readable.
