Nutritional values

Quinoa is not just for vegetarians, as it's a good source of the trace element iron, which is needed especially for blood formation. The fiber-rich grains also provide long-lasting satiety. The easy-to-digest peas score points with immune-boosting vitamin C and vegetable protein, which provides building material for muscles and organs.

You can easily vary the side dish: Quinoa can easily be replaced by millet, couscous or buckwheat, for example. If you can't get watercress, you can use lamb's lettuce, purslane or baby spinach instead.
