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

Dilled Summer Squash Casserole - Untested


3 medium zucchini, about 1-1/2 lbs
2 Tbsps butter
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 Tbsp flour
2 Tbsps milk
2 Tbsps sour cream
2 Tbsps white wine vinegar
1 Tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  1. Coarsely grate the zucchini using the largest holes on a box grater.
  2. Place in a colander, toss with a little salt and set aside to drain while you make the roux.
  3. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the onion and stir to combine with the butter. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the flour develops a pale golden color.
  5. Whisk in the milk and cook until the mixture thickens to a creamy paste.
  6. Add the zucchini, combine well and continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often.
  7. Once the liquid given off by the zucchini has combined with the roux to form a light sauce, stir in the sour cream and vinegar.
  8. Add the dill, combine well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  9. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with a little extra dill if desired.
