The perfect recipe

I've been thinking lately about the perfect recipe. There are cultures out there that eat the same thing day after day, or the same 2 or 3 things day after day. Now none of these cultures are exactly known for their health and long life, but it makes me think.

Is there a perfect recipe? And by perfect I mean nutritionally healthy and sustainable.



I'm thinking it would probably be a soup/stew type of dish. It would have beans (which could be changed up for variety) some deep red vegs, some deep green vegs, onions of course (cause, well, onions!), garlic, some balsamic vinegar (for you Greg, and for taste), tomatoes.

Could have meat for those who wanted but not necessary for those who didn't. Maybe rabbit, or duck, or some other sustainable home grown meat. Maybe wild game. Fish is a different taste/texture altogether. Maybe on the side.

Would it need potatoes? Sweet potatoes maybe. some starch is good and would deliver needed calories, however you have the beans and they pack all sorts of goodness in them.

Corn? I don't know.

I would also add some coconut oil as I find this adds richness to vegetarian soups that lack this because of no meat/broth.

I don't think I would add rice as I feel starch/nutrient ratio just isn't worth it.



What have I left out? What say y'all? And would/should there be a summer and winter blend?

Opinions?
