A tasty healthy breakfast porridge. The flavors blend well by chilling the milk, oatmeal, and fruit together over night then cooking. Cook time does not include chill time. Ingredients:
1 cup steel cut oats (irish oatmeal) |
1/2 cup dried tart cherry |
2 teaspoons tangerine peel, finely shredded (or orange peel) |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 dash ground nutmeg |
2 cups milk |
2 tablespoons butter |
warmed milk |
turbinado sugar or other favorite sugar |
1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts or 1/4 cup pecans or 1/4 cup almonds |
Directions:
1. In a nonmetal bowl combine oates, cherries, tangerine peel, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Stir in milk; cover and chill for 8-24 hours.
2. To serve, transfer oatmeal mixture to a saucepan. Heat just to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer uncovered 5 mins or until oatmeal is done, stirring occasionally.
3. Remove from heat. Stir in butter until melted. If desired, top with warmed milk, sugar and nuts.
