A very simple but effective recipe for a delicious appetizer, and a very simple but important concept for task planning: End-to-End dependencies.

Ingredients (for 4)

Sage: 40 leaves
Flour: 50g
Beer: 100ml
Sunflower oil (quantity depends on the size of your frying pan)

Instructions

A chart with the sequence of operations: setup, mix the batter, heat the oil, fry the leaves, prepare the dishes.

1. Setup

Put a sheet of kitchen paper on a dish: this is where you will temporarily place the fried leaves. The oil in excess will be absorbed by the paper, keeping them crispy.
You will need more than one sheet, to make multiple layers: if you have plenty of space in your kitchen, you might want to directly prepare as many dishes as you are going to serve (…and remember to remove the paper before you serve).
Have all the other ingredients at hand, and make sure that the sage leaves are not…
