- 1/2 cup steel-cut oats
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot or onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 1/4 cups vegetable broth or water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fried or poached egg
- Avocado slices
- Sriracha or hot sauce
- Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or cilantro)
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Toasted nuts or seeds
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallot or onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the oats, vegetable broth or water, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 20-25 minutes.
Divide the oatmeal into bowls and top with your desired toppings.
TIPS:
For a richer flavor, cook the oats in a combination of vegetable broth and water.
Add other vegetables to the oatmeal while cooking, such as diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.
Experiment with different toppings to create your own savory oatmeal combinations.
Savory oatmeal is a great way to start your day with a nutritious and filling meal.
