Yep, Steel Cut Oats~~
I've heard about them for a long time, but they have a rather bad reputation for being hard to cook and taking a really long time, so I hadn't ever given them a try.Well back in September when I went Vegan (mostly) I decided I'd buy some sometime and give them a try. Well I finally bought some a couple of months ago and finally gave them a try this week. And oh my stars, where have you been all my life ~~ SCO's are DELISH!!
Now the interesting thing about them is that they really don't resemble the oats I have come to know and love, as you can see from the picture above. Nope these are much different looking and tasting for that matter.
I'd like to share a SCO's recipe with you that I've been enjoying lately. SCO's stay with me until lunch. In fact today I ate breakfast just after 8:00 am and wasn't even hungry when lunch rolled around. That is great!!!
So let me share this recipe for SCO's:
Steel Cut Oats with a Cherry on Top
1/2 cup Steel Cut Oats
2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon (or a little more if you like)
1 cup frozen cherries
1 teaspoon vanilla
Put oats, water, salt and cinnamon in a pan. Bring to a boil and then put lid on pan and turn down REAL low and cook for 25 minutes.
Cut cherries in half and add cherries and vanilla and cook 10-15 minutes more.
This makes two servings.
I serve mine with a tablespoon or so of agave nectar. Delish!!!
You can also make this with blueberries or blackberries instead of cherries. Equally as delish!!
Enjoy and happy eating,
Dawn,
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of these before and this recipe you have listed sounds so heavenly and filling at the same time. Where do you get the oats?

I am behind the times. I have never heard of these tasty treats. They sound good though and may have to try them as a substitute for oatmeal.
