Black Bean, Corn, Mint & Peppadew Salsa — retrospective whole-Recipe report

Hypothesis

Retrospective review expectation stated at recording time: the complete recorded formulation and Method can reach its intended endpoints and produce the following finished dish: Sweet corn, black beans, fresh mint, and piquant Peppadew peppers in a lime dressing. This is not a hypothesis documented before historical cooking and is not itself an observed outcome.

Procedure

This record was written on 2026-10-02 from Carlo Kruger’s retrospective report on that date. Historical cooking dates and trial counts were not recorded. The exact whole Recipe Version is Black Bean, Corn, Mint & Peppadew Salsa v1. Its preserved source is recipes-tmp/black-bean-corn-mint-peppadew-salsa.md with SHA-256 848e620965050ecf2daec2f0615982a699d43137863822b17925652792f2aeab. The serialized draft SHA-256 is e50cff5e143a3ed6689030dbe68e4c0ffcd50ded9072551990703c653a592fb7. The complete formulation and work sequence below are the recorded specification, not newly observed timings, temperatures or yields. Correspondence to past cooking is attributed to Carlo’s statement that the recipes as recorded were fully tested. The historical reconstruction caveats remain in the unchanged source; Carlo’s 2026-10-02 acceptance applies to this formulation and the packet’s explicit clarifications.

PHASE A — CORN

Ingredient Uses

Key	Ingredient	Quantity	Scaling	Use
corn-kernels	Corn kernels	250 g	100.00%	Corn kernels.

Method

1. Heat a dry cast-iron pan over high heat.
2. Char corn for 4 min–6 min, stirring only occasionally, then cool completely.

Phase Outputs

Key	Phase Output	Description
charred-corn	Charred corn	Prepared intermediate for a later Phase. Use all, cooled.

PHASE B — DRESSING

Ingredient Uses

Key	Ingredient	Quantity	Scaling	Use
red-onion-finely-diced	Red onion, finely diced	80 g	32.00%	Red onion, finely diced.
lime-juice	Lime juice	50 g	20.00%	Lime juice.
extra-virgin-olive-oil	Extra-virgin olive oil	30 g	12.00%	Extra-virgin olive oil.
fine-salt	Fine salt	6 g	2.40%	Fine salt.
ground-cumin	Ground cumin	2 g	0.80%	Ground cumin.
black-pepper	Black pepper	1 g	0.40%	Black pepper.

Method

1. Whisk lime juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and black pepper.
2. Soak red onion in the dressing for 10 min.

Phase Outputs

Key	Phase Output	Description
onion-dressing	Onion dressing	Prepared intermediate for a later Phase. Use all.

PHASE C — ASSEMBLY

Ingredient Uses

Key	Ingredient	Quantity	Scaling	Use
cooked-black-beans-drained	Cooked black beans, drained	250 g	100.00%	Cooked black beans, drained.
peppadew-peppers-drained-and-diced	Peppadew peppers, drained and diced	100 g	40.00%	Peppadew peppers, drained and diced.
mint-leaves-finely-sliced	Mint leaves, finely sliced	20 g	8.00%	Mint leaves, finely sliced.
coriander-leaves-chopped	Coriander leaves, chopped	20 g	8.00%	Coriander leaves, chopped.

Method

1. Fold beans, corn, Peppadew, mint, and coriander through the dressed onion.
2. Rest for 15 min, then adjust salt and lime before serving.

Peppadew sweetness varies, so lime may need adjustment. Add mint only after all cooked ingredients are cool to prevent discolouration.

Phase Outputs Used

Phase Output	Use
Charred corn	Use charred-corn. Use all, cooled.
Onion dressing	Use onion-dressing. Use all.

Results

Carlo retrospectively reported that the recipes as recorded were all successful and fully tested, and approved this whole formulation for production. No further Recipe-specific observations were supplied. Cooking dates, trial counts, detailed tasting notes and instrument measurements were not supplied. Source yields are estimates, not measured results of this retrospective record. Recorded alternatives have no separate variation-specific testing observations in this report.

Decision

Carlo accepted the formulation as recorded, including the explicit reviewed clarifications, for production in the complete 25-Recipe batch on 2026-10-02. Proceed to normal exact-version Promotion after valid serialization, applicable Curation and reference resolution. Technical validation does not perform that human acceptance. A materially changed formulation needs its own exact-version evidence and acceptance; this report does not automatically follow future changes.
