Savory Oatmeal With Peas and Roasted Papadums |
I typically use gluten-free rolled oats; they cook fast and don't need much planning. If you prefer to use steel-cut oats, see the Notes below for directions.
Notes: Steel-cut oats will require more time to cook but is quite delicious prepared this way; allow about 30-40 minutes for cooking in a regular pan or pressure cook to reduce the time considerably. Cook steel-cut oats with the salt and spices according to the package directions. The oats maybe prepared ahead up to this point, reserved in the fridge, and reheated as necessary. Stir in cooked veggies and/or beans if desired. Serve warm/hot with your favorite toppings and sides.
