Health and fertility benefits of Burrata, Sausage and Broccoli Rabe Toast
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. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Ingredients
1 lb. sweet Italian sausage, casing removed
extra-virgin olive oil
1 Large garlic clove, minced
1 bunch broccoli rabe, cut into 2" pieces
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 pieces sourdough bread or rustic country bread
8 –10 oz. burrata cheese, room temperature
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
1 tbsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven 400 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sausage. Break apart sausage with a wooden spoon as it browns. Cook about 2 minutes.
