Nutritional values

The grainy semolina made from durum wheat, which is so popular in North Africa, together with the vegetables, brings about half of the daily dietary fibre on the plate. In addition, the fast vegetarian meal is rich in vitamins and minerals.

More desire for Mediterranean aromas? No problem: Instead of the "German" vegetable mixture, simply take frozen ratatouille and season it with a little more garlic and possibly fresh thyme.
