I love the nutty flavour and the texture of steel cut oats but the 25 minutes it takes to cook them is sometimes too much for me. I get lazy and fry an egg. Here is a trick for you! Soak them overnight in water and they cook in 5 minutes the next morning! I use one part oats to 2 parts water. Top them with chopped candied ginger, dried papaya and coconut for a tropical twist. Satisfying, healthy and quick.
I love steel cut oatmeal, delish.
ReplyDeleteOatmeal is perfect on a cold morning. I can't say that I have ever prepared 'real" oatmeal. (sigh). I have always used Quaker Oats or instant (ugh). I need to change my ways...
