Make dinner from what you have
Turn a short ingredient list into a complete, uncomplicated recipe.
The words to get you started.
I have [ingredients and quantities], [equipment], and only [seasonings and oil]. Suggest two easy dinners with every ingredient listed. Give quantities for [people], numbered steps, approximate times, and safe cooking temperatures where relevant. Do not assume I have butter, broth, garlic, or other extras. Ask about anything important that is missing.
