I found this recipe in Martha Stewart living, which calls for roasting the oatmeal and walnuts. Roasting usually improves the flavor of food, and it gave the oatmeal a nice toasty flavor. This is a lovely way to start the day. Read more . source: Ingredients:
1 ounce walnut halves, (1/4 cup) |
1-1/4 cup steel cut oatmeal |
5 cups cups water |
5 ounces dried apricots, chopped (1 cup) |
a good pinch of cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
honey, to drizzle on top of the oatmeal |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spread walnuts and oatmeal on two separate baking sheets, and bake until both are brown and toasted-about 10 minutes for the walnuts and 12 minutes for the oats.
3. Bring water to a boil and add the oatmeal, apricots, cinnamon, and salt. Return to a boil, then turn it down, partially cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until oats are tender and thick, about 20 minutes. Chop the walnuts.
4. Serve the oatmeal in 4 bowls, sprinkle each serving with the walnuts and drizzle some honey on top.
5. Note: I found that the leftover oatmeal re-heats fine the next day. It may need a little water added.
