Nutritional values

Vegetarians should more often Fennel more often. It is full of iron and folic acid, which is otherwise often lacking - both of which promote blood formation. Walnuts provide us with healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids.

If you like, you can use other nuts or seeds instead of walnuts, for example hazelnuts, almonds or pumpkin seeds. The mountain cheese can be well replaced by Parmesan or Pecorino.
