STEEL-CUT OATMEAL WITH FRUIT



Steel-Cut Oatmeal With Fruit image

Steel-cut oatmeal is my new favorite hot breakfast. It has more texture than rolled or flaked oats and really sticks to your ribs. But this tasty cereal takes about 25 to 30 minutes to cook - not what you need when you're trying to get out the door. So I make a batch that will last a few days; it keeps well in the refrigerator, and you can reheat small portions gently atop the stove or in the microwave. You can also freeze this oatmeal in ice cube trays, an idea I got from oncology nutritionist Maria C. Romano. She contributed the recipe from which this one is adapted to the "Eat Healthy, Shop Smart" community farmers' market program at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups water
2 cups low-fat milk
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 cup steel-cut oats
1 teaspoon unsalted butter (optional)
2 to 4 tablespoons dried fruit, such as raisins, chopped dried apricots, dried cranberries
1 to 2 teaspoons maple syrup, agave syrup, honey or brown sugar (more to taste)
Fresh fruit (such as diced apples and pears, optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the water, milk and salt in a large, heavy saucepan, and bring to a boil. Slowly add the oats, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Stir in the butter, dried fruit and sweetener. Cover, and continue to simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often to prevent the cereal from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the oats are soft and the mixture is creamy. Serve, with added fruit stirred in if desired, or refrigerate and reheat as desired. Or freeze as follows:
  • Line ice cube trays with plastic wrap. Fill each cube with oatmeal, cover with plastic wrap and freeze. Once frozen solid, remove the cubes from the ice tray and freeze in a plastic bag. For each portion, thaw three or four cubes in a microwave on the defrost setting. Add additional warm milk if desired.

CROCK POT OATMEAL WITH DRIED FRUIT



Crock Pot Oatmeal With Dried Fruit image

Steel cut oats and your favourite dried fruits make for a delicious breakfast that's ready and waiting for you when you roll into the kitchen for breakfast. There's absolutely no need to add any sugar to the oatmeal, as the sugars in the fruit take care of that for you. Use any combination of fruit you have on hand; I've used apples, prunes, dates, apricots, cranberries, raisins, cranberries, strawberries, and pineapple and all are great but my favourites are apple/raisin, and dates all by themselves. From the manual that came with a Cuisinart slow cooker.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats: Steel-cut oats are the best choice for this recipe, as they have a chewy texture and nutty flavor. If you don't have steel-cut oats, you can use rolled oats, but they will cook more quickly.
  • Use a large pot: Oatmeal tends to foam up as it cooks, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent it from boiling over.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the oats to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will help the oats cook evenly.
  • Stir frequently: Stirring the oatmeal frequently will help prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Add dried fruit and nuts: Dried fruit and nuts are a great way to add flavor and texture to your oatmeal. Add them during the last few minutes of cooking so that they don't overcook.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Oatmeal is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Some popular choices include milk, yogurt, honey, maple syrup, and fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

This steel-cut oatmeal with dried fruit recipe is a delicious and healthy way to start your day. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it sweet or savory, there's an oatmeal recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give steel-cut oatmeal a try.
