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

Tarte aux fanes de radis et aux pignons - Untested


1 - This looks challenging. How much cheese is required? Just a small log like at the supermarket? And can I replace the pine nuts with something else like hazel or walnuts?

1 homemade pâte brisée (shortcrust pastry)
75–100g radish leaves or nasturtium leaves
3 eggs
200g fresh goat cheese, well drained
100g (100mL / 6 Tbsp. + 2 tsp.) whipping cream (35%)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsps. pine nuts or coarsely chopped walnuts
  1. Prepare the tart pastry of your choice.
  2. Wash the radish or nasturtium leaves, then sauté them lightly in a skillet just until wilted. Allow them to cool slightly, then squeeze out any excess moisture and chop them roughly.
  3. In a bowl, combine the drained goat cheese, cream, eggs and the cooked greens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  5. Roll out the pastry and line a 30cm (12") tart pan. Prick the bottom all over with a fork.
  6. Pour the filling into the prepared tart shell and sprinkle the pine nuts or walnuts evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
  8. Allow the tart to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
