Healthy, because
The purely vegan meal - completely without cholesterol - already supplies a quarter of our daily requirement of calcium. The mineral that strengthens bones and teeth is also very important for blood clotting, muscles and nerves. And the abundant fibre helps our intestines.
Even smarter
The sauce is so delicious that you will want to serve it with other vitamin-preserving steamed vegetables - according to your wishes or the season. It goes very well with cauliflower and zucchini, for example.
