Nutritional advice
by MUDr Iveta TruskovaPHA SR, Public Health Authority of the Slovak Republic
Barley potage with Bryndza cheese and tempeh is a dish made with plant-based ingredients (barley grains and soy – marinated tempeh) and Bryndza (a traditional sheep’s milk cheese). As such, from a nutritional standpoint, this dish can be considered healthy and highly nutritious, particularly because it contains fibre, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. You could also prepare this dish without the salt, as the Bryndza already has a high salt content. If necessary, season with herbs.
