FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Can I use new potatoes with the skin for a more rustic variant?
Yes, new potatoes with well-washed skin add a more rustic texture and earthy flavor to the dish. Be sure to cut them into small cubes to ensure even cooking.
How can I make the dish more protein-rich while maintaining its creaminess?
To increase the protein content without compromising creaminess, you can add legumes like pre-cooked chickpeas or lentils during the vegetable cooking. Alternatively, incorporating tofu cream or Greek yogurt can enrich the dish with proteins.
