Healthy, because
Just like the Hokkaido pumpkin, parsley contains vitamin A, which is particularly important for the skin and eyes. But parsley can do even more: the herb contains essential oils that can help with cystitis, urinary tract diseases and also with stomach pain or an irritated intestine.
Even smarter
Serve a fresh leaf salad with the gratin to bring more variety to your plate. You prefer the pumpkin gratin vegetarian? You can leave out the chicken breast cold cuts as an ingredient, or replace them with pumpkin seeds, for example.
