Healthy, because
The white cabbage in the vegetable stew scores with so-called radical scavengers such as bioflavonoids, chlorophyll, indoles and phenols. These substances protect our body cells and thus delay the aging process, i.e. the cabbage keeps us young and healthy.
Even smarter
You can also prepare the Mediterranean vegetable stew with other vegetables. For example, if you still have aubergine, tomatoes or mushrooms left, you can replace them with part of the cabbage or carrots. Another variation is to replace the parmesan with ricotta and put a little bit of it on each plate.
