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

Roasted Veg and Hummus Tart - Untested

https://wallflowerkitchen.com/mediterranean-hummus-tart-vegan/#mv-creation-261-jtr

2 tbsp olive oil
2 medium bell peppers, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced (9oz/250g)
1 medium red onion, sliced into wedges
Approx 10 baby tomatoes, whole or halved
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 sheet of puff pastry, room temperature
1 tbsp chopped basil
1 x 300 g / 10 oz pot of hummus
Fresh basil, torn (optional)
  1. Preheat oven to 220C / 430F.
  2. Drizzle the oil over the vegetables in a medium roasting tray. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Roast for 20-25 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the puff pastry sheet. You can either make one large tart or two smaller ones. To make two, simply slice the sheet in half widthways. You may need to trim it a little to fit onto a baking sheet.
  4. Score a 3cm border around the sheet and prick the middle with a fork a few times to stop it puffing up too much. Bake for 15-20 minutes (or according to the packet's instructions).
  5. Once the puff pastry is cooked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before using to allow the crust to set.
  6. Top the cooled crust with the hummus, using as much or as little as you like. Then top with the roast vegetables.
  7. Scatter over some fresh basil (optional) and enjoy! Delicious served both hot and cold.
