Season to taste with vegetable stock powder, salt, pepper, the prepared herbs and a pinch of sugar. Fold the tomatoes under the vegetables and let them rest on the switched off stove for about 3-5 minutes with the lid on.

  • Stir in the butter and grated mountain cheese. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and serve immediately with the vegetables.
  • Tip 6: If you like, you can add corn kernels and black olives to the vegetables.
