Savory Oatmeal Recipe for Dinner
Savory Oatmeal is an affordable, fiber-rich vegetarian meal with easy vegan swaps. Lots of mushrooms add big umami flavor!
Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil for vegan option
- 1 leek white and light green part only, halved lengthwise then cut crosswise into thin slices
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 12 ounces assorted mushrooms chopped
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon ground dried sage
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- 1 cup steel cut Irish oatmeal
- ½ cup grated vegan Parmesan cheese plus additional for garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In medium saucepan with lid, heat stock over medium heat until simmering, then reduce heat to low and keep covered.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add leek and salt; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic, mushrooms, thyme, sage and pepper; cook 7 to 8 minutes or until mushrooms are very deeply browned, stirring frequently. Add wine, cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to between medium and medium-low. Add oatmeal; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add 2 ladles of hot stock, stir constantly until mostly absorbed. Add additional stock 1 ladle at a time, stirring after each addition and cooking until stock is mostly absorbed before adding more.
- Cook 18 to 22 minutes or until oats are tender, stirring frequently (you do NOT need to stir constantly) and adding stock as needed.
- To finish, vigorously stir in cheese and lemon juice. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley and additional cheese.
Notes
Home Chef Notes:
- chicken or beef stock and traditional Parmesan cheese may be used if not keeping the dish vegetarian.
- any variety of fresh mushroom may be used. I used 8 ounces white mushrooms + 4 ounces “gourmet mushroom blend."
- use traditional steel cut Irish oatmeal, NOT the quick-cooking kind.
