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

Untested - Voodoo Chilli

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
1 medium zucchini, diced
1⁄2 lb. cremini mushrooms, diced
1 medium carrot, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28oz) whole peeled tomatoes
2 canned chipotle peppers, finely chopped
1 tsp. chilli powder
1⁄4 tsp. ground cumin
1⁄2 tsp. dried oregano
1 can pinto beans, drained
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1⁄2 avocado, sliced
  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or pot set over a medium flame. Add the onion, zucchini, mushrooms, carrot, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes, crushing lightly between your fingers to give the chili a coarse texture. Add the chipotle, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and beans, plus salt and pepper to taste. Turn heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve in bowls and top with sliced avocado.
