Like risotto [oatmeal-sotto?]…but extra chewy!
Words cannot convey to you how heavenly this was! I love how oatmeal tastes good no matter what you do to it! It tasted so creamy, and every bite was full of flavor!
I noticed that while cooking, the oats and the water it was cooked in [before adding broth] was a slightly darker color, which I suspect has something to do with the sauteed onions and garlic that was in the pot–so pretty! And the smell was A-MAZING.
Stuff I had:
- 0.5 cup oats
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp flax
- 0.25 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 yellow pepper
- 1 slice soft tofu
- frozen broccoli, cauliflower, carrot mix
- 2 tsp parmesan, sprinkled on at the end
So this was my first ever “risotto”–can’t wait to cook it again the normal way!
Ooh, and check out the normal lunch I had today and yesterday!
Pasta salad! I created a dressing out of equal parts extra virgin olive oil, ketchup, and rice vinegar, and seasoned with oregano–super good! I should eat like a normal person more often 
The “oatmeal-sotto” (hehe, love the term) and pasta salad look wonderful!
That actually sounds really good… I never would have thought that you could make risotto with different grains… awesome!
That pasta salad though… oh yum!
what a great idea! i agree with you, you can’t really go too wrong with oats
Oooh Oatmeal-sotto looks fantastic! You’re so right – you can really put whatever the heck you want in those oats and they still taste great!
Yeah Oatmeal Challenge!
