1. Have the finishing ingredients ready
Some of the finishing happens after the pan comes off the heat. Have those ingredients ready and follow that order, rather than adding everything at the beginning.
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
