Recipe Warnings

• The source uses compressed Make It text and the cilantro quantity is given as “half bunch” in Mise It while Shop It lists “1 bunch cilantro” as an overbuy purchase amount, so this export preserves both exactly as shown without reconciliation.
• The source instructs cilantro to be buzzed and stirred in off heat after cooking, so that late-use herb step was preserved exactly as written.
