HEALTH & BENEFITS

While this dish may not be the healthiest option, the use of bell peppers and onions provides some vitamins and nutrients. The ham provides protein, but it can also be high in sodium, so it should be consumed in moderation. Apricot jam contains vitamins A and C, but it’s also high in sugar.
