The Healing Power of Cauliflower

Today’s delicious healing whole food recipe is provided by Zestycook.com!

Cauliflower is an especially healing autumn food because it is low in calories, high in fiber, and rich in a very special cancer fighting compound called indole-3-carbinol.

This magical component of cauliflower prevents cancer by detoxing the system of the harmful forms of estrogen that result in reproductive cancers and complaints in women.

Researchers are now thinking men can likely use indole-3-carbinol to prevent forms of reproductive cancer, hair loss, and erectile dysfunction that result from these elevated levels of toxic estrogen. The high antioxidant spices in Zesty’s roasted cauliflower recipe combined with the olive oil in this recipe further prevent cancer and reduce inflammation. This side dish will pair well with your favorite chicken, safe seafood, or grassfed beef recipe.

Roasted Cauliflower Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 head cauliflower

• 1 dried cayenne pepper

• 1 teaspoon ground coriander

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom

• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black peppercorns

• 1/4 cup olive oil

• organic seasalt to taste

Method:

1. Chop the cayenne pepper finely. Add the ground coriander, ground cardamom, ground nutmeg, ground cumin, and ground black pepper to the cayenne in the bowl mixing well. (Do not add the salt yet! It has to be added after cooking, or it would dry out the vegetables). Pour this spice mixture into the olive oil (in a small container). Mix together well. Let sit for at least half an hour.

2. Put the oven rack in the middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celcius).

3. Meanwhile, wash the cauliflower, then cut it into individual bite-sized florets. Skin the onion and chop it coarsely. Put all of this into a very large bowl, then pour the spice and oil mixture over it. Toss until well mixed. Spread all of this over a large baking sheet.

4. Once the oven is preheated, put in the cauliflower and roast it, stirring after about every 15 minutes then returning to the oven. Leave the cauliflower to roast until it is tender. This will take about 45 minutes total. Pull the baking sheet out when the cauliflower is done. Salt to taste and serve. Enjoy!

Zesty Tip: When cooking vegetables, always salt after the cooking process is complete but make sure you do it right away. Same holds true when you deep fry anything.
