Nutritional values
The vegetarian version of the popular meatballs is tasty and has less fat, cholesterol and calories. It also scores points for its more valuable ingredients - for example, plenty of vegetable protein and about half of our daily requirement of carotene, niacin and calcium.
Whole grain rice and gently steamed or steamed vegetables such as broccoli, zucchini and spinach are ideal companions. This turns the roasts into a complete, satisfying meal.
