Healthy, because
The Spanish tortilla reminds a bit of the German omelette. But to the eggs there are also potatoes that are topped with all kinds of ingredients. Thus, paprika is a top vitamin C supplier, whereby specially the red vegetables also score with considerable amounts of vitamin A. This benefits both eyesight and skin. Tomatoes contribute plenty of cell-protecting lycopene and parsley rounds off the classic with plenty of vitamin C.
Even smarter
You still have some vegetables in the fridge that should go? The Spanish tortilla is a wonderful way to use leftovers. No matter if peppers, aubergine, carrots, cauliflower or broccoli - just put them in.
