Night record

Planning here works on its own. Once a night starts, it travels between the three tools by itself.

Cooking notes

Grill skewers & charred lemon

Outdoor heat frees the indoor kitchen entirely. Char wants acid and a little chill Dry rosé or light Gamay, served cool. Char and yogurt marinade want lift, not tannin. Outdoor: keep bottles in the cooler, not the sun.

Base recipe

This is the base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because there is no committed plan for this dish. Build and commit a plan that includes it and this card multiplies itself to the batch count the plan computes.

What does not scale

Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.

Cooking time
About 0 minutes on the stove at this scale. Bringing a bigger volume up to temperature takes longer than the multiple suggests; the simmer afterwards does not.
Method
  1. Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for grill skewers & charred lemon, not a certified kitchen test.
  2. Amounts below are one batch: 6 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
  3. This dish can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Cold storage is the real limit — do not make it ahead if the fridge is already tight.
  4. Use the declared outdoor heat. If no grill was declared, this dish should not be on the route — the plan stops rather than guessing.
  5. Season, cook to the stated doneness, rest, then slice.
  6. Holds about 20 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
  7. Drink pairing: Dry rosé or light Gamay, served cool. Char and yogurt marinade want lift, not tannin. Outdoor: keep bottles in the cooler, not the sun.
  8. Leftover route: Chop cold, dress with yogurt or oil and citrus, leftover herbs. Bread. Do not recook the chicken.
  9. Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Make-ahead

Can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Fridge units: 2 per batch, so 1 batch takes about 2 shelf-thirds while it waits.

Scaling

Base recipe: one batch, 6 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 0 minutes at the stove either way.

Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
