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

Test 2 - Indian spiced snow peas

http://edivyaraj.blogspot.ca/2011/03/snow-peas-stir-fry.html

1 - Very good.
2 - It's nice to have so many snow peas around! I did not find that cooking them covered was of any advantage other than, perhaps, speed.

2 cups snow peas, chopped into 1 inch pieces
1 small onion small dice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp Garam Masala
Salt to taste
2 Tbsps oil

  1. Heat the oil in a pan and cook onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
  2. Add the snow peas, turmeric and salt. Cover and cook until the pods are crisp-tender.
  3. Cook, uncovered, an additional 3 minutes, then add the cayenne and garam masala and sauté for 5 minutes.
  4. Serve hot with rice.
