Healthy, because
Potatoes and leeks provide plenty of potassium, which supports muscle function, maintains blood pressure and regulates cell growth. trout caviar is also rich in high-quality protein and provides many important omega-3 fatty acids, which protect the heart, for example.
Even smarter
Trout caviar should always be eaten fresh, because at more than four degrees Celcius the fish roe spoils within a few hours and should therefore only be stored briefly in the refrigerator in the coldest place on the glass plate above the vegetable compartment. Furthermore, excessive consumption is not recommended - caviar has high salt and purine contents, which can have a negative effect on health if consumed in excess. So always keep the caviar consumption in moderation, this is not only good for your wallet!
If you want to make the dish vegetarian, you can use tapioca pearls cooked in salted water as a topping for the toast stars instead of caviar.
