Comments

A colorful yet mild dish loved by adults and children, it tastes fresh and flavorful. For me it brings back childhood memories of a brisk day and warm food. Combined, these vegetables are a powerhouse of antioxidants and nutrients. Lots of protein, fiber, vitamins A, C, K, and B. For this recipe use fresh or frozen peas, never canned.

Sometimes a variation recipe calls for a non-milk sauce of butter, flour and some of the vegetable water.

Also note “Karotten” and “Möhrchen” are used in different places but both refer to carrots.
