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 - Grilled Garlic Scapes

http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2010/06/the-crisper-whisperer-what-to-do-with-garlic-scapes-recipe.html

A handful of garlic scapes, cut to fit your pan
Olive oil (about 1 Tbsp)
Salt and Pepper
Lemon juice and zest (optional)

  1. Toss the scapes with a little olive oil, sprinkled with salt, and pepper, to taste.
  2. Heat a dry pan and when hot, put in the scapes and grill, without stirring, for a minute or so, then flip them to the other side and grill an additional minute.
  3. Sprinkle with extra and maybe a bit of lemon juice and zest. 
  4. They'll be charred in spots and just soft enough, and their flavor will have sweetened and mellowed dramatically.
  5. Serve immediately.
