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

Testing - White Beans and Bacon

This was good but a little light and dry with only bread. Try as a side with eggs.

2 cups cooked Great Northern beans
4 strips of bacon
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
pepper and poudre douce to taste

  1. Fry bacon in a saucepan until crispy.
  2. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, and saute the onions and garlic in the fat until the onions are translucent and tender.
  3. Add the beans and cook over low heat for ???, to give the fat a chance to soak into the beans, stirring constantly.
  4. Reintroduce the bacon and cook another ??? minutes to blend everything together.
  5. Add pepper and poudre douce to taste and serve warm with crusty bread.
