Night record

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

Cooking notes

Kofta bil siniyeh

Bakes in one tray with the sauce; holds well covered on low heat.

Base recipe

This is the base recipe: one batch, 8 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
40 minutes in the oven, whatever fraction of the tray is filled. A half-full tray browns faster, so look at it sooner rather than trusting the clock.
Method
  1. Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for kofta bil siniyeh, not a certified kitchen test.
  2. Amounts below are one batch: 8 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. Oven occupancy is 40 minutes per tray. Do not start this tray if the day-of oven window is already full.
  5. Season, tray up, roast, rest. Hold only as long as the fixture hold time.
  6. Holds about 60 minutes once finished. After that, quality drops — do not invent extra time.
  7. 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, 8 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: 40 minutes in the oven either way.

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