Nutritional values
If you want to be fit and eat a protein-rich diet, you can turn to lentils instead of fish and meat. They are a great source of protein. The nutrient activates important metabolic processes.
If you don't like cilantro, you can simply replace the aromatic herb with flat-leaf parsley. If you are not on a vegan diet, you can also use the one made from cow's milk instead of the vegetable crème fraîche.
