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

Gomasio - Untested


½ cup raw, unhulled sesame seeds
2 Tbsp. sea salt
OPTIONAL
1 Tbsp. ground or finely shredded nori, kombu, and/or wakame
1 Tbsp. dried nettle powder
½ Tbsp. dried thyme
½ Tbsp. dried sage
½ Tbsp. dried rosemary

Toast sesame seeds and salt on medium heat until a few seeds start to pop.
Turn off the heat and transfer mixture to a mortar, suribachi, or food processor. Add optional seaweed and herbs.
Using a pestle or food processor, grind mixture coarsely, leaving about half the sesame seeds intact.
Store in a sealed glass jar, ideally on your table or counter where you can use as often as desired.
Use on top of rice, soba noodles, roasted vegetables, or a cup of hot broth.
