Nutritional values

The vitamin A contained in the carrots strengthens the eyes and the immune system, and type 1050 wheat flour contains twice as many minerals as normal white flour.

Possible variations: Instead of using tomato paste, you can also spread 1/2 teaspoon of herb cream cheese (20 % fat in dry matter) on each slice of ham. Instead of the carrots you can also use thick asparagus spears or thick strips of courgette - both do not need to be pre-cooked.
