Story

  • I first made this recipy by mixing the foods I felt like I should eat. Brown rice, black beans, frozen vegetables and nuts. I knew this alone would not taste great so I added the oil, fried onion, spices, cooked it in a broth and then added some rasins.
  • Happy with the result, I brought this to work. When asked what I was eating, the only answer that came to mind was 'food'. I explained why I made it and somebody suggested that I had produced 'Nutrient Paste'.
  • A few more people asked in the weeks following. While at first it was fun to explain, it quickly grew tedious so I bought this domain and setup this site to slightly simplify these rare occasions.
  • But hey, food is expensive today and this recipe is nutritious and really cheap. Maybe the Internet is slighty improved by this small addition
  • Its an even be vegetarian if you use a vegetable broth
  • And it's even tasty
  • Thanks
