Healthy, because
The roast provides us with important B vitamins. Above all, it contains vitamin B 12. In case of a deficiency, we become listless, tired and even depressions are possible. Vegetables provide us with important dietary fibres, which gives us a pleasant satiation.
Even smarter
Even though pork contains important vitamins, we should not eat it too often, because it contains fatty acids that promote inflammation and is often contaminated with residues and hormones. An alternative, to avoid the latter, is to use wild boar meat, which also has a more intense flavour.
