Rather than fruit and sugar, vegetables and sea salt are keys to this trendier take on hot cereal.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 4
- 5 cups cold water
- 2 large Green Bell Pepper
- 2 red bell pepper
- 2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 1/2 cups Oats, Old Fashioned
- 3 stalk scallion(s)
- 1 tbsp Fresh Dill
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 oz Soft Goat Cheese
DIRECTIONS
1
Bring the water, bell peppers, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to a boil in a large saucepan.
2
Stir in the oats and scallions and reduce heat to medium. Cook, while stirring, until the oats are fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the dill and olive oil.
3
Transfer oatmeal to four (2-cup capacity) freezer- and microwave-safe bowls. To save for later, cover well and freeze.
4
To enjoy one bowl, uncover and top the bowl with unbleached parchment paper or paper towel.
5
Microwave on HI for 3 1/2 minutes and stir. Microwave until done, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Microwave times vary. Adjust seasoning. Sprinkle with goat cheese (or cashew cheese), if using. (Hint: If desired, garnish with additional fresh dill at the table.)
