A few quick notes
1. Keep the lid step in mind
Have the lid or covering ready before you need it. Follow the covered and uncovered parts of the method in their own order, especially when the finish changes partway through.
2. Get the blending equipment ready
There is a blending step in this method. Set up the appliance called for and follow its instructions along with the recipe, including any cooling or handling directions before blending.
3. Give the simmer its place
Keep the simmering stage in the sequence when planning the meal. Follow the heat and texture checks in that step rather than rushing straight to the finish.
