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

Jerusalem Artichoke Sauce with Crumbled Bacon - Untested


200g jerusalem artichokes
1 shallot
3 cloves of garlic
150ml heavy cream
200g lardons 
250g pasta (I used ditalini rigate)
  1. Peel the artichokes and chop them roughly, drizzle with olive oil and salt, roast at 200C for 25-30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, fry the lardons until crisp and then set aside. Dice the shallot and fry this in the same bacon pan for 5 minutes before adding minced garlic. Turn off the heat whilst you wait for the artichokes to be ready.
  3. Pop your pasta on to boil and then remove the artichokes and blend them until smooth the the cream and some water to loosen.
  4. Pour this into the pan along with the drained pasta, some pasta water and 2/3 of the crispy bacon bits. Stir well and serve with the remaining bacon bits on top
