Red Pepper Frittata with Turmeric

This quick, easy to throw together dish is packed with cancer-fighting nutrients. Turmeric is a powerful anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer spice. Red peppers don’t just add colour and sweet flavour, they are also rich in beta carotene and vitamin C. Eggs are a great source of protein, vitamin A, calcium, iron and zinc. Chives aid in digestion and are high in iron. This dish is amazingly versatile; use up whatever veggies and herbs you have on hand.
