Savory Steel Cut Oatmeal

Description

Savory oats are a great clean-out-the-produce-drawer weeknight dinner recipe. You can make them for breakfast and brunch, too, of course. Recipe yields 4 modest servings (about ¾ cup each), so I’d double it if you’re feeding 3 or more people, or want leftover oats for later.

Ingredient:

  • 3 cups water
  • 1 cup neutral-flavored milk of choice (like cow’s milk or plain, unsweetened almond milk) or an additional cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
  • 1 cup steel-cut oats (choose certified gluten-free oats if necessary)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Mix-in ideas: grated cheese or nutritional yeast, drizzle of additional olive oil or pat of butter, sautéed veggies or greens, sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes and/or ground spices
  • Topping ideas: toasted chopped nuts or seeds, fried/poached/scrambled eggs and/or lightly dressed fresh greens
