Ingredients
- 1 cup Steel-Cut Oats preferred for texture or Rolled Oats
- 3 to 4 cups Vegetable broth Chicken broth, or Bone broth
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or Butter
- 1 Shallot minced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce or Tamari
- Salt and Black pepper to taste
- Toppings: Fried or poached egg
- Toppings: Sautéed greens Spinach, Kale, or Swiss Chard
- Toppings: Sliced Avocado
- Toppings: Grated Parmesan cheese or Nutritional Yeast
- Toppings: Scallions and Chili crisp
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the minced shallot and garlic, sautéing until fragrant to build the aromatic base.
- Add the oats to the pan and toast them for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until they smell nutty.
- Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer. For steel-cut oats, cook for 20-30 minutes (stirring occasionally risotto-style) until creamy but still al dente. For rolled oats, cook for 5-10 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce or tamari, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the oats finish, prepare your toppings (fry the eggs, sauté the greens).
- Ladle the oatmeal into bowls and immediately top with the egg, greens, cheese, avocado, and a drizzle of chili crisp.
