There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Pan fried arugula stalks - Untested


1 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
8 oz arugula flower stalks (see note)
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1/4 tsp salt
Black pepper
  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to go blonde. Remove the garlic and set aside.
  3. Add the stalks and fry in the garlic oil for a couple of minutes before adding the vinegar.
  4. Stir constantly until most of the vinegar has evaporated.
  5. Remove from the heat, reintroduce the browned garlic, season with salt and pepper.
NOTE: The stalks may have woody ends. Make sure the stems are fresh and crisp, and bend them until they easily snap. If they don't snap, that part is woody. Move up the stem towards the flower buds a bit and try again until it snaps. Discard the tough lower bits.
