Discover how jicama, a low-glycemic root vegetable, can benefit women with PCOS. Learn about its nutritional value and delicious ways to incorporate it into your diet.
Recipe by Suzan Colón This recipe came from my great-great grandmother, who was born in Alsace Lorraine. The version here is a little different from the way it appears in my book, Cherries in Winter: My Family's Recipe for Hope in Hard Times; apparently
This recipe includes superfoods such as:
Apple cider vinegar will improve your body's sensitivity to insulin (Reference: http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/27/1/281.full)
4 slices bacon
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar diluted with 1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons to 1/4 cup sugar (to taste)
6 medium-size cooked potatoes, diced
3 onions, diced
Fresh parsley (optional)
Boil diced potatoes in lightly salted water until fork-tender. Drain and set aside in a bowl. Cut bacon into small pieces and brown lightly in frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until bacon is browned and onions are golden, about 5 minutes. Mix 3 tablespoons sugar in diluted vinegar and taste; add more sugar if you like a sweeter dressing. Add vinegar and sugar to pan and stir until liquid is heated. Add mixture to diced potatoes and toss gently. Garnish with a few leaves of chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
