Health and fertility benefits of Barbecued Pork with Broccoli and Scallion Rice

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. One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55.

Ingredients

1 c. long-grain white rice
2 scallions
1 bunch broccoli
2 tbsp. olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
1 pork tenderloin
3 tbsp. ketchup
1 tbsp. honey
1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp. grated ginger

Instructions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Cook the rice according to package directions. Fold in the scallions.
Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook, turning occasionally, until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. In a bowl, combine the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and ginger.
Push the broccoli to edges of the baking sheet and place the pork in the middle. Brush the pork with half the glaze. Transfer to the oven; roast until a thermometer registers 145 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes. Brush with the remaining glaze and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
