Oatmeal Mushroom Pilaf image

This is so different from anything else you have ever tried. I really like it. It has a heartier flavor than a rice pilaf. It is my adaptation from the recipe in a flyer I got years ago when I bought Quaker Oats. My photo.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 handfuls of dried mushrooms (i used a forest blend i got from amazon)
water
1 large egg, beaten
1 3/4 c quick oats
1 Tbsp each butter and olive oil
3 green onions, sliced (include some tops)
1/2 c chopped celery (include some leaves if you have them)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 chicken boullion cube, crushed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cover mushrooms with hot water and let soak for about an hour. You can do this over night if you like. Just put in the refrigerator.
  • 2. Prep all other vegetables.
  • 3. Drain liquid from mushrooms reserving liquid. Rinse mushrooms and chop to desired size.
  • 4. Strain the mushroom liquid through a coffee filter to rid of any grit or dirt and reserve. Add more water to make 1 cup. Add the crushed bouillion cube. Stir to dissolve.
  • 5. Beat egg. Add oats and mix until well combined.
  • 6. Pour olive oil and butter into a large skillet. (I used a non stick). Add onion, garlic, celery and mushrooms and saute until limp.
  • 7. Add oat and egg mixture and cook stirring constantly until dry and toasted.
  • 8. Reduce heat and add about 3/4 cup of the water/bouillon mixture. Stir occassionally while cooking. Cook for a few minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  • 9. Add remaining water, stir and cook another minute then cover. Turn off heat a let set for a few minutes before serving.
  • 10. Adjust seasoning and serve.
  • 11. I am sure you could do this with Old Fashioned Oats. It would just take a few minutes longer to cook.
  • 12. If you do not have dried mushrooms, use fresh or canned, or omit them. Just use broth or bouillion for the liquid. This is really a nice change of pace from other grain side dishes.
