Tahini (a paste made from sesame seeds) strengthens the bones, because the small seeds contain a lot of calcium. In addition to plenty of high-quality protein, lamb also provides plenty of iron. The trace element is needed for blood formation and oxygen transport in the body, among other things. Lentils score with satiating fiber as well as a lot of protein. In addition, the zinc contained in them supports wound healing and protects against colds. Herbs and pomegranate seeds protect our body cells from harmful free radicals through the antioxidants they contain.

You prefer it vegetarian? Then simply use tofu instead of lamb for the skewers. You can replace the Puy lentils with other types of lentils. However, please note the cooking time indicated on the respective packaging.
