Why we chose this dish

Our Dietitian’s Choice

"These meat-free nuggets are made from micro-protein, a naturally close relative of mushrooms. Low in saturated fat and a source of protein and fibre, they are a firm favourite with our pupils, who often cannot tell the difference between these and the other tried and tested favourite of chicken nuggets. Our oven baked herby diced potatoes provide a tasty starchy carb accompaniment for slow-release energy throughout the afternoon. And, as always, pupils are encouraged to participate in increasing their consumption of vegetables, here with peas, a popular choice that are also a good source of iron."
