Health and fertility benefits of Broccoli and Cheddar Mashed Potatoes Recipe | MyRecipes

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.

Ingredients

1 1/4 pounds red potatoes, quartered
1/2 cup whole buttermilk
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 cup prechopped broccoli florets
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons water
1 1/4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

Arrange potatoes in a microwave-safe dish; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Cut a 1/2-inch slit in plastic. Microwave at HIGH 8 minutes or until tender; transfer to a bowl. Microwave buttermilk in a microwave-safe cup 30 seconds; pour buttermilk and 2 tablespoons olive oil over potatoes. Mash until mostly smooth.
While potatoes cook, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets to pan; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add lemon juice and water to pan; cover, reduce heat, and cook 4 minutes or until tender. Stir broccoli, cheese, salt, and pepper into potatoes. Serve potatoes immediately.
