GOLDEN OATS
A breakfast cereal or a dinner side dish. This is a lower calorie and sodium (but just as tasty) version of the Quaker Oats recipe. Since the final cooking stage is "just add water", it's also suitable to take along camping or to pack in a lunchbox for work.

Steps:
- Melt the margarine in a skillet or sauce pan over medium heat.
- Meanwhile, mix the egg and the oatmeal in a small bowl. This may seem like a lot of oats compared to the amount of egg, but just keep stirring until the oats are coated.
- Add the oats mixture to the skillet.
- Stirring constantly, cook about 5 minutes until the oats are lightly browned ("golden"). They should be dry and separated.
- (At this point, the oat mixture can be stored in a tightly covered container until you are ready to finish cooking. Note that the eggs are cooked, so it doesn't require refrigeration).
- Add the water, stir, and cover.
- Cook about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates.
- Make the recipe your own by adding dried or fresh fruit, cinnamon, sauteed peppers or onions, meat or vegetable broth instead of water, and so on.
GOLDEN OATS MEDLEY (INSTEAD OF RICE, NOODLES OR OTHER GRAINS)
Wholegrain oats for dinner? They're delicious! Every grain is firm and separate and naturally full of flavour. They're fluffier than rice and higher in protein, too. You can serve Golden Oats as a side dish seasoned with herbs or your favourite vegetables. Or serve them plain under stews, stroganoff in casseroles or other saucy meat dishes. Add chopped parsley for colour and flavour or season as you like. Use wherever you'd ordinarily use rice, noodles or potatoes. Golden Oats are quicker to make than rice. The secret is mixing a little egg to form a seal around every grain. The egg will allow the grains to dry and separate until they're big, round and delicately brown. Try it out for yourself, it's so easy and really good for your colon and your heart and I think your children will love it as much as I do. I like to use the large flaked oatmeal but you can use any kind you like. For the recipe below I like to fry up some onions too.
