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

Velouté aux lentilles et citrouille - Testing?


1 - When I picked this recipe I did not realize it was to make baby food! It is very bland, but also seems like a good canvas to paint some more interesting flavors across.

? 60 g French lentils
? 260g winter squash/pumpkin
? chicken or vegetable broth
? 1 tsp crème fraîche (doesn't seem enough)
3/4 tsp curry powder
Salt, to taste
Fine olive oil
  1. Peel and cube the squash.
  2. Cook in the broth with the lentils for 30-40 minutes, or until the lentils are perfectly cooked.
  3. Purée with the cream and curry powder and a good pinch of salt.
  4. Serve, drizzled with a tsp of olive oil.
