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

Pork Stew - Test 2


1 - This was a very good frankenstein, and if I can reconstruct it, we'll be on a roll.
2 - Cooked it on high because I rarely remember to start it for the low settings! Again, very good.

1lb pork loin, cubed
2 Tbsps flour
1-2 Tbsps oil
1 pound potatoes
3 carrots
1 onion
5 small garlic cloves
½ cup garden peas (fresh or frozen)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups beef stock
⅓ cup red wine
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  1. Trim fat from loin and cut into cubes. Coat with 2 tablespoons flour. Brown chops in oil over medium heat.
  2. Place potatoes, onion, garlic, carrots and peas in slow cooker. Sprinkle remaining flour over and toss to coat.
  3. Layer over potato mixture salt, pepper, pork, stock, wine, bay leaves, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, Italian seasoning. 
  4. Cover and cook on high 3 1/2-4 hours or on low for 7 - 8 hours.
