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 - Slow-and-Easy Rack of Lamb

http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/34820/slow-cooker-rack-of-lamb.aspx

1lb 8oz rack lamb (2 average sized racks)
1 Tbsp + 2 Tbsps olive oil
2 Tbsps chopped fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
1 1/4 cups red wine
2/3 cup plum jam
1 tsp lemon zest
3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 onion cut in 8ths
1 tsp minced ginger root

  1. Preheat the slow cooker to Auto/Low.
  2. In a frying pan over a high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the olive oil then add the lamb and brown on all sides for about 1 to 2 minutes per side. This will seal in the juices. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. In a bowl, combine the remainder of the ingredients and mix well. Place the lamb in the slow cooker then pour the mixture over, tossing to ensure a good cover.
  4. Cook on Auto/Low for 6 to 8 hours or until the lamb is very tender. Top up with a little wine occasionally if necessary. Serve with juices from the slow cooker.
