Peruvian Grilled Pork with Corn Salsa

This is a highly coherent, flavorful, and mathematically sound recipe. The instructions precisely track ingredient quantities, and the cooking methods and temperatures are spot on for safe, delicious results.

Score: 9/10

Suggested fixes

  • Update the cost estimate to '$15–$17' to accurately reflect the sum of the listed grocery item prices.
  • In step 5, change 'fold the kernels into 1 1/2 cups tomato relish' to 'fold the kernels into the prepared tomato relish' for a more natural tone.

Issues

  • low / cost: The cost estimate states '$9–$11', but the sum of the provided grocery prices is $15.63.
  • low / clarity: Repeating the exact intermediate yield ('1 1/2 cups tomato relish') in step 5 reads as slightly robotic, though it effectively tracks the component.

Strengths

  • Flawless tracking of ingredient quantities across all steps, including divided ingredients like olive oil and salt.
  • Correct USDA cooking temperature (145°F) and adequate resting time for pork tenderloin.
  • Excellent flavor balance, utilizing acid (lime), fat (olive oil), heat (jalapeño), and appropriate salting in each component.
  • Efficient workflow, combining passive resting time with finishing the salsa.
