Berbere-Spiced Lentils with Tender Cabbage
This is a well-structured and flavorful recipe with excellent timing and accurate salt ratios, needing only a minor formatting adjustment for the spice list.
Score: 9/10
Suggested fixes
- Delete Step 2 and move the bulleted list of spices into Step 4 where they are added to the saucepan.
- Ensure there is a blank line before and after the bulleted list when moving it into Step 4.
Issues
- low / clarity: The spice mixture is prepared in a bulleted list in Step 2, but the spices do not enter the cooking action until Step 4. The style guidelines require placing bulleted ingredient lists where those ingredients enter the action.
Strengths
- Excellent step-by-step organization, grouping prep tasks effectively at the beginning.
- Salt quantities are well-calculated for the total weight of vegetables and lentils.
- Concurrent cooking steps make smart use of the lentils' inactive simmering time.
- All ingredient quantities in the instructions precisely match the provided ingredient list.
