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

Spinach Salad - Testing

I've made this a few times. The vinaigrette is very nice, but I've never recorded the salad part.

2 bunches spinach
1 Tbsp chives, minced
4-6 eggs, hardboiled and sliced
Optional - bacon, cooked crisp and broken into small pieces
For the Vinaigrette
1/2 cup olive oil
3 Tbsps red wine vinegar
2 tsps Dijon mustard
Alternative Vinaigrette
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1-2 teaspoons honey
  1. Tear spinach into bite-sized pieces. If using, mix in the bacon pieces. Sprinkle over the chives.
  2. In a small jar, pour in the vinaigrette ingredients, put the lid on and shake until it emulsifies. Pour on top and toss the salad.
  3. Arrange the egg slices on top and serve.
