It looks like ingredients are created implicitly when they're used in recipes (which makes sense) -- and that there's no mechanism for adding an ingredient without adding a recipe. Is that correct? If so, new and create here might be "cruft" from an earlier version of your project -- best to get rid of it.

If you decide to use it later, you can always re-add it with git magic. I wouldn't recommend using it exactly as-is, though, since it doesn't check if a name is already used and it looks like it might allow a no-name ingredient.
