Nutritional values
The rich color of beets is due to the plant pigment betanin - as an antioxidant, it protects the body's cells from harmful free radicals. White Beans support blood formation thanks to the mineral iron.
Minced lamb has its own flavor that not everyone likes so substitute ground beef or chicken instead. You can also replace the white beans with kidney beans or cooked lentils.
