Healthy, because
White beans are rich in iron, this trace element is important for blood formation and oxygen transport. Like most legumes, beans score points with proteins, which serve as a building material for our cells and also provide long-lasting saturation. The fish is also a real protein star. In addition, it keeps the heart healthy, with plenty of omega-3 fatty acids.
Even smarter
The low-carb recipe can be enhanced with vegetables. Tomatoes, peppers and spring onions are a perfect match. They also provide vitamin C, which we need for the absorption of the vegetable proteins from the beans. The Mediterranean bean salad goes well with a spelt salad or serve it as a side dish with grilled food.
