Habe es gerade nach gekocht. Darf auf jeden Fall mehr Salz vertragen. Ansonsten find ich es ganz gut. Die zweite Portion werde ich morgen mit klein geschnittenen Tomaten aus dem Garten verspeisen...

Würzen kannst du immer wie es dir am besten schmeckt. Ich versuche immer einigermaßen salzarm zu kochen 😊
