Nutritional values

The low-fat schnitzels taste super spicy even without breading. One portion covers the daily requirement of vitamin K for good bone formation and niacin, which is important for cell division.

The couscous becomes even more colourful - and richer in vitamins - if you additionally mix in 1 large diced pepper or 200 g of corn kernels.
