Healthy, because
This vegetarian recipe covers 90 percent of your daily iron requirements. The trace element is important for the distribution of oxygen throughout the body. In addition, one portion of iron contains the daily requirement of vitamin D, which is hardly found in plant foods exceptfor mushrooms and is urgently needed for bone metabolism.
Even smarter
The season for fresh chanterelles is limited to a few weeks in summer. At other times of the year, this dish is also delicious with shiitake or oyster mushrooms. The low carb recipe can also be made with dried chickpeas. Soak them overnight in twice the amount of water, cook for about 1 hour and then use as indicated. If some of the chickpea puree, also known as hummus, is left over, you can use it in a fresh salad or on a flatbread with vegetables.
