Nutritional values

Little fat and cholesterol, but plenty of vitamins and minerals are put on the table. Anyone struggling with high blood fat levels should treat themselves to this vegetable dish with little meat more often.

More fibre comes into play if you use whole grain rice or green spelt meal instead of long grain rice.
