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

Test 3 - Herbed Lamb Burgers

I think this recipe is pretty much good to go, but I still need to successfully reproduce it before I'm satisfied.

1 egg
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup minced chives (or 1 small onion, very finely chopped)
1/3 cup minced fresh mint
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp diced marjoram or oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 lb (454 g) ground lamb
  1. Beat the egg with the lemon juice. Stir in the fresh herbs, garlic, and dried herbs&spices. Add the lamb and the bread crumbs; mix until combined. Shape into four patties.
  2. Place on a greased grill over medium heat; close the lid and grill, turning once, until no longer pink inside and a digital thermometer inserted sideways into the centre reads 170°F (77°C), about 15 minutes.
