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

Orzotto with rocket and broad beans - Untested


140 g pearl barley
1 small bunch of arugula
10 broad bean pods
curry to taste
20 g of goat cheese
10 g of butter
  1. Bring lightly salted water to a boil and blanch the shelled fava beans. 
  2. Rinse the barley under running water. 
  3. Melt the butter in a risotto pan and toast the barley for a few minutes.
  4. Drain the fava beans, keeping the cooking water aside and warm. You will use it to cook the barley, adding a little at a time. 
  5. Continue cooking and halfway through, add the previously washed and chopped arugula. 
  6. Remove the skin covering the fava beans and add them, reserving a few for garnish. 
  7. Once cooked (about 30 minutes), add a teaspoon of curry powder and turn off the heat. 
  8. Stir in the goat cheese and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
