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

Herbed Warm White Beans - Untested

1 - I wonder if fresh tarragon would work here?

1 can (19oz/540mL) white beans, rinsed and drained
2 Tbsps. olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
3 Tbsps. finely chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, basil, thyme, or a combination (or 1½–2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon with 1-2 tsps of lemon)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the garlic and cook gently for about 1 minute, taking care not to let it brown.
  2. Add the drained white beans and stir gently to coat them with the garlic and oil.
  3. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Remove from the heat and stir in the fresh herbs just before serving.
