Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups steel cut oats |
1 tablespoon butter |
5 cups water |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon butter |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 pears, peeled, cored and diced |
2 tablespoons currants |
1/2 cup shelled pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped |
maple syrup |
Directions:
1. OATMEAL: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, toast the oats in the butter for 2 minutes. Add the water and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, until the oatmeal thickens and is tender, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently, especially toward the end.
2. PEAR AND MAPLE TOPPING:Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the butter and sugar until they begin to colour. Add the pears and currants. Sauté until the pears are tender and coloured a light gold, about 4 minutes.
3. Serve the hot oatmeal in bowls. Spoon some of the topping onto each portion. Sprinkle with pecans and drizzle with maple syrup.
