As some of you may know, I’ve been spending many of my free moments researching the rich history of my people, the Minmatar. Some of our ancestral tribal traditions seem almost alien to me, but throughout our entire timeline it seems we are a very community oriented people. We never think of individual self; we are a family.

Some of the ancient Matari tribes were nomadic, others lived in both polar and equatorial deserts. Today’s recipe comes from a discovery I made from the latter tribe.
