Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

1 cup toasted hazelnuts (about 4 oz.; see below) or 1/4 cup hazelnut butter
1 can (14 oz.) garbanzos, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon hazelnut oil (optional)

Instructions

To toast the hazelnuts, bake in a 375 ° oven until golden under skins (break one to test), 10 to 15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub in a kitchen towel to remove as many skins as possible.
In a food processor, whirl hazelnuts until smooth. Add garbanzos, olive oil, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice, and whirl again until smooth. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin to desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with hazelnut oil, if desired.
