Nutritional values

A proper portion of protein and fibre guarantees a full feeling of well-being without being overloaded with too many calories. And since one portion also provides far more than the daily requirement of vitamin E, cell protection also gets its money's worth.

Sorrel is sometimes difficult to obtain. Good substitute: flat-leaf parsley.
