Nutritional values

Something different from meatballs, but just as tasty. Above all, the kids get lots of crunchy vegetables that provide plenty of vitamins and fibre!

Ideal for children's birthday parties: Because they are served cold, the colourful "boats" can be prepared in advance. Simply cover them with aluminium foil and put them in a cool place until dinner.
