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

500 grams pork (ready to cook, such as shoulder)
1 bunch soup vegetables (such as carrot, leek, parsnip or other aromatic vegetables such as celery or onion)
½ stalk leeks
200 grams savoy cabbage
300 grams rutabaga
1 red bell pepper
2 onions
2 tbsps vegetable oil
1 l beef broth
2 bay leaves

  1. Rinse the meat, pat dry and cut into small, bite-sized pieces. Rinse, trim and chop the soup vegetables into small pieces. Cut the leek lengthwise, rinse, trim and cut into thin rings. Rinse cabbage, remove the tough ribs and cut the leaves into 2 cm (approximately 3/4-inch) wide strips. Peel rutabaga, rinse and cut into 1 x 1 cm (approximately 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch) cubes. Rinse the bell pepper, cut in half, remove seeds and white ribs and cut into tiny cubes.
  2. Peel the onions and cut into wedges.
  3. In a saucepan, heat the oil and brown the meat briefly on all sides. Add the onions and the broth and simmer for about 30 minutes over medium heat. Then mix in the vegetables and spices (in a spice bag), season with salt and pepper and simmer another 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the whole spices and onion and season the soup. Stir in the sour cream and serve immediately.
