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 - Garlic Scape Pesto

How many of these recipes are there, and they're all pretty much the same. I've essentially rewritten it to make it clearer for myself.

10 garlic scapes
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
Juice from 1 lime

  1. Put the scapes, pine nuts, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a blender or food processor and process into a paste. 
  2. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil first, and then the lime juice. Done!
  3. Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
