Tip of Stefano:
Vanilla, a not so common ingredient in a savory meal, but so tasty and healthy
A vanilla pod contains lots of different vitamins and even almost every type of mineral, except for selenium. Apart from being a source of vitamins, vanilla is a catalyst in the absorption of other vitamins and minerals.
The use of vanilla in a recipe, delicious combination with oranges
When using the marrow of a vanilla pod, you obtain a warm, slightly sweet and very typical taste. You can add it to the most common dishes, like pudding, desserts, cookies and sauces but you might surprise everyone by using it in a different way. In the following recipe, we have used vanilla adding a subtle twist to the dish; orange sauce and vanilla is a delicious combination and goes perfectly with the savoy cabbage bundles with seitan.
