Chef critique
Tunisian-Spiced Lentil & Squash Stew
This is an expertly structured and seasoned recipe with excellent pacing, clear instructions, and flawless salt calculation.
Score: 10/10
Suggested fixes
- Update step 2 to say 'Strip the leaves from 1 small bunch dino kale and chop them; discard the stems (or reserve for another use).'
Issues
- low / clarity: While 'strip and chop' implies removing the kale leaves from the stems, it does not explicitly instruct the user to discard the stems or save them for another use.
Strengths
- Excellent adherence to the 1% salt rule for vegetables and grains, calculating the exact amount perfectly.
- Preparation steps are batched logically before active cooking begins.
- The spice blend is appropriately formatted as a bulleted list with correct spacing.
- The instructions are remarkably concise and refer back to prepared components naturally without restating amounts.
