Real Oatmeal
Steel-cut oats, also claled Irish oatmeal, makes a heartier, chewier oatmeal than the pressed old-fashioned or quick oats.
Ingredients
-
2 cups water
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
2/3 cup steel-cut oats
Directions
1.
In a 2- to 2-1/2-quart saucepan bring water and salt to boiling. Stir in oats. Simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until oats are just tender and the liquid is nearly absorbed. Makes 3 (2/3-cup) servings.
2.
Creamy Real Oatmeal: Prepare as above, except add 1/4 cup milk to the water and salt (watch carefully as milk will foam when mixture comes to a boil). Simmer, covered, for 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
3.
Toppers: Top your hot cooked oatmeal with dried fruit (cherries, raisins, tropical fruit bits, chopped dates), nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds), shredded coconut, brown sugar, maple syrup, and/or milk or half-and-half.
