PAN-SEARED OATMEAL WITH WARM FRUIT COMPOTE AND CIDER SYRUP
There's weekday oatmeal - the sort you make and eat in a rush - and then there's a special occasion oatmeal like this - the kind you save for a lazy weekend morning when the children are watching cartoons and you have the time to make something truly spectacular. First, reduce some apple cider until it's thick and glossy. While that simmers, toss together a quick compote of water, brown sugar, cinnamon and dried fruit. Make a simple pot of steel-cut oatmeal, spread it in a baking dish and chill for about an hour. (If you're a planner, you could do everything up to here the night before.) Finally, cut into triangles and sear in a blazing-hot pan glistening with butter. Serve with compote and syrup and prepare for oohs, ahhs and oh-mys.
