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

Pico de Gallo salsa - Test 1

 
2 to 3 medium fresh tomatoes (1 to 1 1/2 pounds), stems removed
1/2 medium onion
2 serrano or 1 jalapeño pepper, stems, ribs, and seeds removed (less or more to taste) (can substitute with 1/4 tsp chipotle pepper powder)
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch dried oregano (crumble in your fingers before adding), or more to taste
1 pinch ground cumin, or more to taste
  1. Roughly chop the tomatoes, chili peppers, and onions. Be careful while handling the chili peppers. Use a plastic baggie or disposable gloves to handle them, or wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water after handling and avoid touching your eyes for several hours.
  2. Set aside some of the seeds from the peppers. If the salsa isn't hot enough, you can add a few for more heat.
