Healthy, because
With this portion of vegetables you get many vitamins, fiber, minerals, and secondary plant substances. The stew also contains twice your daily amount of Vitamin C, which is a great pick-me-up when you are weak or have a cold.
Even smarter
Romanesco, the green cabbage with the pointed mini heads, is becoming more and more popular. If you can't find it, you can also use broccoli, cauliflower, or a mixture of both. Rice pairs well with this recipe.
