I’ve never been a big fan of cooked oatmeal, but not too long
ago we stayed at a bed & breakfast and were served steel-cut oats—the inner
portion of the oat kernel that has been cut into only two or three pieces.
Needless to say, now we love its rich, nutty
consistency! 1. The
evening before, boil 2 cups of water in a heavy saucepan.
Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup steel-cut oats. Cover pan with lid and let set
overnight.
2. In the morning, remove
lid and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and gently
simmer for 9 minutes.
3.
Stir in 1 cup fresh or frozen berries (I like to use
a mix of blueberries, raspberries and blackberries).
4. Serve warm,
drizzled with 1-2 Tbsp real maple syrup. Makes 2 large
servings.
NOTE: For a cinnamon
maple flavor, omit berries. After oatmeal has cooked the full 9 minutes, stir in 1 tsp
cinnamon and 1 cup raisins. Divide into 2 large bowls and drizzle with
a small amount of real maple syrup. |
