Nutritional values

Potatoes and cabbage provide plenty of potassium - this is beneficial for the regulation of the body's water balance, among other things. They also contribute vitamin C plus fibre, while the meat provides protein.

Instead of savoy cabbage leaves, other cabbage leaves are also suitable for the Shepherd\'s Pie. By the way, the dish can be prepared really well: Just layer it all and keep it in the fridge until you bake it.
