this is the recipe I developed for "Plumpy Piñon," a piñon nut version of the humanitarian aid food, Plumpy'Nut, which uses peanuts.
Plumpy Piñon
2 T Piñon nuts,
ground into paste
1 t Vitamin powder
1 t Powered sugar
1 t Granulated sugar
Mix together to form a paste. For additional comfort, fill a small plastic bag, snip a corner, and suck the paste from the bag.
The basic recipe is, combine different sugars and vitamin powder (I used a soy protein powder, sort of a cheat...) and then add roughly the same amount of nut paste. Combining with your hands seems to work best.
Most people wanted their plumpy in a bag.
N. took the leftovers home to her kids so they could connect to malnourished African kids.
This is what it looks like.
