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

Roast Cabbage Slices - Untested

I got this off of the new AI search on Chrome. I generally prefer to give a real web site the hit, but this is just meant to test an idea for another recipe, so I'm saving myself the step. The search was for Cabbage Steaks, but I don't hold with calling vegetables after cuts of meat. Let veggies be veggies! Who are you trying to fool, anyway?

Number of portions: 6–8 (avg. 7)
Serving size: ~140 g
Calories per serving: ~69 kcal
Speed: Everyday Dish
Experienced cook (active): ~8 minutes
Novice cook (active): 15–18 minutes
Total elapsed time: 32–35 minutes
LHSS Score: 5.65 / 10

1 large head of green cabbage cut into 1" thick rounds
2 Tbsp. olive oil or Melted Bacon Grease (for deeper flavor)
½ tsp. salt, or to taste
¼ tsp. black pepper, or to taste
  1. Prep the oven and cabbage: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). 
  2. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Place the cabbage steaks in a single layer on the pan, leaving some space between them.
  3. Brush both sides of each cabbage steak evenly with the oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and roast another 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. For extra crispiness, you can broil for the last 1–2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from the oven. Garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice, and serve warm.
