    Texturally this is different from a traditional Spanish tortilla but the turnips add a silky dimension and I appreciated the boost of vegetables. Great on its own warm and a delicious way to start the day on toast with arugula pesto or whatever you have on hand.

    This tastes great but was more reminiscent of an omelet than a spanish-style tapas-esque tortilla. That being said it really did taste great which was surprising given that there were only 5 ingredients. The flipping part was a bit of a hassle. Previous reviewers on Facebook have mentioned that it was oily, so I cut down on the oil quite a bit and used regular turnips instead of hakurei. Next time I would finish in the oven as someone had recommended.
