Voiceover. Set out a scale and the equipment for Green Pozole. Heat to a quiet simmer, about 195°F / 90°C and give it 5 minutes so the surface is actually hot. Weigh tomatillo, pumpkin seeds, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, yellow onion, low-sodium chicken broth, chicken breast, canned hominy, kosher salt, green cabbage, radish, lime. A weeknight pozole: tomatillos, pumpkin seeds, and cilantro blended into a green broth, with hominy and shredded chicken. The toppings are the second half of the recipe.

Step 5
Shot. Green Pozole: checking the center for doneness. Natural window light, ivory linen, handmade ceramic, no text, no logo.

Slate words for the editor: kiln, candle, whisk, simmer, nacre, harbor, zephyr, ramekin, ribbon, kilnfire.

Scene 11 · doneness · 6s
How you know it is done

Scene 12 · mistakes · 7s
If it goes wrong
Shot. Split screen is unnecessary. Show the finished, correct texture, then a hand points at the cue.
Voiceover. Green Pozole looks done at the edge and is still raw in the center. Trust the cue, not the color. Check the thickest piece and give it a few more minutes. Green Pozole turned out salty, dry, or watery. Weigh the salt and the liquid next time. Keep the heat at the temperature in the method, and stop when the doneness cue appears.

Machine-readable script for a later video tool. Scene durations are edit lengths, not cooking times. Long simmers and bakes are jump cuts. Order: hook, title, mise, equipment, one scene per numbered step (shot, on-screen text, voiceover, duration), doneness, fixes, storage, nutrition, plate, and the closing CTA. Keep the shot list and on-screen facts tied to this recipe.
