Health and fertility benefits of Sausage Kebabs with Broccoli, Tomatoes, and White Bean Salad

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. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

24 cherry tomatoes
1 lemon
1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. olive oil
2 can cannellini beans
1/2 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 c. fresh basil leaves
2 scallions
kosher salt
Pepper
8 small sweet Italian sausages
12 oz. broccoli

Instructions

Heat grill to medium-high. Roughly chop 8 tomatoes. Grate 2 teaspoons lemon zest and squeeze the juice (you should get about 3 tablespoons) into a medium bowl; whisk in 1 tablespoon oil. Add the beans, chopped tomatoes, parsley, basil, scallions, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
In a large bowl, toss together the sausage, broccoli, and the remaining 16 tomatoes with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
Divide the sausage and vegetables among 8 skewers and grill, covered, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with the bean salad.
