Nutritional values

With one portion of the starter you cover your daily requirement of biotin almost three times over. The vitamin supports the formation of keratin and is therefore important for the growth of our hair and its elastic but firm structure; keratin also protects the nails from splintering and breaking.

The starter is excellent on a buffet, because it can be prepared well - even in larger quantities. The vegetables are in season from June to September, i.e. exactly in the summer barbecue season. How convenient that the low-carb dish tastes perfect as a side dish to grilled food. As an alternative, you can replace half the courgettes with aubergines.
