Nutritional values

Lentils score with a lot of vegetable protein - and thus, in combination with the abundant fiber contained in the dish, make you feel full for a really long time. Allspice combines the flavors of nutmeg, clove, cinnamon and pepper. The spice has an invigorating effect, aids digestion and helps against flatulence and other intestinal complaints.

Out of season for fresh beet, you can either use the vacuum-packed tubers that have already been precooked, or simply prepare the puree with other root vegetables such as carrots.
