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 - Slow Leg of Lamb with Garlic and Rosemary

http://www.babble.com/best-recipes/leg-of-lamb-in-the-slow-cooker-with-garlic-and-rosemary/

2 - A good and simple meal. I didn't add any lemon, which made it good but not sparkly. Lemon would likely elevate it. Remains on the Testing phase.

olive or canola vegetable oil, for cooking
1 half bone-in boneless leg of lamb
4-5 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, thick sliced into rounds chopped into chunks, or about the same quantity of small new potatoes
1 1/2 head garlic peeled
salt
a few sprigs of rosemary
about a wineglass full of 1 cup red wine (or stock)
Lemon juice

  1. Rub the oil all over the lamb and brown in a hot pan. 
  2. Meanwhile, toss all the potatoes and about half the garlic cloves into the bottom of your slow cooker.
  3. Put the lamb on top of the potatoes, press the other half of the cloves of garlic and rub this all over the surface, then sprinkle with salt. 
  4. Toss in a few sprigs of rosemary and pour the wine in around the potatoes.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. 
  6. Carve the lamb and serve with the potatoes, finished with a squeeze of lemon, if you like.
