Buttered peas & baby gem
French-style braise, five minutes flat, no equipment competition.
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.
- Frozen peas1.8 lb
- Baby gem lettuce3 ea
- Butter2.8 oz
Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.
- Cooking time
- The pot takes as long as it takes. The cooking time is set by the cut, not by the volume — half a batch is not half the time, and a double batch in two pots is not double it either.
- Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for buttered peas & baby gem, not a certified kitchen test.
- Amounts below are one batch: 8 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
- Brown, deglaze, cover, and cook low. Overnight rest improves the sauce. Reheat in its own liquor.
- The pot takes as long as it takes. The cooking time is set by the cut, not by the volume — half a batch is not half the time, and a double batch in two pots is not double it either.
- Hold time is short (15 min). Finish close to service. Do not guess a longer hold.
- Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
Day-of only. Do not make this ahead and invent a hold.
Base recipe: one batch, 8 portions. Nothing has been scaled, because no plan was open. Cooking time does not move with the batch: about 8 minutes at the stove either way.
Not every line here was multiplied by the same number. Why doubling a recipe is not multiplication
