Nutritional values

Pork provides about one third of the daily iron requirement and brings plenty of B vitamins to the plate. The vitamin C in vegetables also improves the absorption of iron.

Instead of rice you can also use 130 grams of polenta: bring 400 millilitres of water to the boil, stir in the polenta, season with salt, paprika powder and pepper. Simmer together with the corn at low heat for 15 minutes.
