How to make Savory Oatmeal
Savory Oatmeal
Ingredients
* 1 cup steel-cut oats
* 3 cups water
* 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or olive oil
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1 cup unsweetened plain milk (optional)
* Your toppings of choice: grated cheese, nutritional yeast, sautéed veggies, red pepper flakes, scrambled eggs, etcetera
Instructions
1. Bring the water and milk to a boil in a large saucepan. If you don't want to use dairy (or any other dairy alternative), then substitute it with a cup of water.
2. While waiting for the water/milk to boil, heat the butter or olive oil in a skillet. Once it sizzles, add the oats and cook it until oats become golden.
3. Stir in the oats into the water and milk mixture. Cook on low until very thick.
4. Season with salt and pepper. Top it with whatever savory toppings you desire.
