Swaps

Sliced veal → chicken breast (similar protein content). Spelt rice → brown rice (also provides complex carbohydrates and fibre). Oyster mushrooms → mushrooms (similarly savoury, with fibre). Olive oil → ghee (stable at high heat).

Allergens

The dish contains gluten from the spelt rice; depending on the stock, other allergens may be present. Well suited to children if the meat is cooked until tender and seasoned moderately; during pregnancy make sure the veal is fully cooked through and the mushrooms are fresh.
