In this task, you have to identify the named entities (NER) which are the ingredients required given its directions. Named entities are the names of the items without their quantity.
One example is below.
Q: Preheat oven to 375 degrees., Boil syrup, sugar and shortening over medium heat, stirring constantly., Remove from heat., Gradually stir in flour and nuts., Drop by teaspoonfuls about 3 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet., Bake 5 to 6 min., Remove from oven and let stand 5 min, before removing from sheet., May be rolled into cylindrical shape while still hot., If cooled too much, return to oven for a minute., Yield: 4 dozen cookies.
A: flour, nuts, corn syrup, shortening, brown sugar
Rationale: This is a good example, as we see the NER is generated correctly from the directions.
Q: Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper., Slice apples in 1/4 inch rounds. Rub slices with lemon to prevent browning. Using a paring knife, cut the core out of center slices of the apple, leaving the rounds intact., Sprinkle each slice/round with cinnamon sugar on both sides., If using almonds or walnuts, sprinkle nuts and raisins on the bottom slice of each apple. Sandwich with the next consecutive slice/round. Continue sandwiching nuts and raisins until all slices are used and apple is whole., Stick toothpicks in the top to secure and ensure apple slices don't slide apart while baking (if toothpicks are unavailable and slices do slide apart, they can simply be re-stacked once cooled)., Bake 35-40 minutes or until apples are soft but firm and can easily be pierced with a fork., Serve warm or at room temperature., Note: cinnamon sugar can be made by simply combining 1 cup granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
