️When prepared heartily, oatmeal is often a healthier alternative because it does not cause as much of a rise in blood sugar. For this reason and because of the additional side dishes, they keep you full better and for longer.
This simple recipe for savory oatmeal is suitable for any meal of the day: breakfast, lunch or dinner! Feel free to experiment with the side dishes or toppings.
Ingredients basic recipe:
• 1 tbsp cold-pressed olive oil
• ¼ cup finely chopped shallot, about 1 small
• ¾ cup large leaf oatmeal or coarsely ground oat groats
• 1 clove garlic, chopped or crushed
• 2 ¼ cups water
• ½ teaspoon sea salt or 1 teaspoon Shiro Miso (light miso)
• Freshly ground black pepper
Toppings:
• Sauteed spinach, sautéed mushrooms or celery
• Soft-boiled or poached eggs
• Chopped spring onions
• Avocado
• Microgreens or sprouts
• Hot sauce
• Lemon juice
Preparation:
1. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. 🧅
2. Add the oat flakes/groats and garlic and stir to combine with the oil, then add the water and salt and bring to the boil (do not stir in the miso until it is cooked). Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the desired consistency (for oat groats, approx. 15-20 minutes) until the oats or oat flakes are creamy but still have a slight bite. Season with salt and pepper. 🌾
3. Remove from heat and portion into bowls. Garnish with roasted vegetables, eggs, spring onions, avocado and/or the micro leaves. 🍳
4. Season with a splash of hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon juice and serve. 🌶️🍋
