A few quick notes
1. Keep an eye on the broiler finish
The broiler is a separate finishing job. Read that part before serving, get the dish ready as directed, and stay with the finish instead of treating it as another long oven step.
2. Set out the finishing ingredient
Keep the finishing ingredient within reach while the main preparation is going on. Add it at the step in the method so the last job is easy to complete.
3. Measure the blend before mixing
Set out the listed seasonings and measure each one before mixing them together. When you use the finished blend in another recipe, check how much that recipe needs instead of treating the whole jar as one portion.
