Hummus & Curried Cauliflower Tartine - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cauliflower, washed, dried and broken into very small florets
- 2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 pinch of cinnamon
- 1 sprig of thyme, leaves only
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt
Instructions
- Start by making the curried cauliflower. Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C/gas mark 7). In a bowl, toss the cauliflower with the spices, thyme leaves and olive oil, mixing well. Transfer to an ovenproof dish and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until lightly brown on top. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- Place all the hummus ingredients into a food processor or use a handheld blender to process until smooth. If necessary, use a little of the reserved chickpea liquid to thin the mixture to a smooth purée. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- To serve, spread the hummus on the bread and top with the curried cauliflower. Sprinkle the scallion (spring onion) on top and drizzle with the olive oil.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly.
