Health and fertility benefits of Broccoli crust pizza
Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system. Chia seeds are made up of 60% Omega-3 fatty acids and are the highest source of protein out of any type of seed.
Ingredients
yields 2 medium sized pizzas:
Two thirds of a medium sized broccoli (about 1.5 cup when grated)
1 small onion
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
3 teaspoons psyllium husk
1 teaspoon chia seeds
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees c / 400 degrees f.
Place the broccoli and onion in a food processor and pulse until the ingredients are finely chopped, add the rest of the ingredients and pulse until everything is well mixed. Put the mixture aside for 15 minutes to allow the husk and chia seeds soak up the liquid.
Cover a baking tray with baking paper and use a spoon and spatula to form the pizza on the tray, try to make it the same thickness so it bakes evenly.
Let it bake for 10 minutes and then gently flip it over and let it bake another 5 minutes on the other side
Take out the pizza crust and add your toppings of choice – I added organic tomato puree, a little garlic powder, chili powder and paprika, goat cheese, fresh basil, onion and sliced tomato– I added the rest of the toppings (arugula and more fresh basil) when the pizzas were done baking.
Bake the pizzas for another 5-10 minutes and you’re done! I enjoyed the pizza with an arugula/berry/goat cheese salad and peach/raspberry infused ice water.
