Ingredients
For the Savory Oatmeal
- 1 cup rolled oats or large flake oats (110 g)
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 small shallot, finely diced (½ cup diced, about 60g)
- 1 clove garlic, grated or crushed
- 2½ cups water or vegetable stock
- 1–2 tsp white miso paste
- 2 tsp tamari
For the Toppings
- 2 tsp oil, divided
- 3 cups packed kale, de-stemmed and chopped (about 100g)
- 2 cloves garlic, grated or crushed
- pinch chili flakes
- 200g mixed mushrooms, thinly sliced (cremini, shitake, etc, about 4 cups sliced)
- 2 scallions (green onions), thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, thinly sliced
- toasted sesame seeds
- drizzle of sesame oil
- chili oil or hot sauce, optional
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Cook Oats: In a medium saucepan, heat 1 tsp oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add shallots. Cook for 2 min, stirring often, until just tender. Add oats and garlic. Stir to coat.
- Add 2 ½ cups water (or vegetable stock). Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce heat to low. Cook for 8-10 min, stirring often, until creamy and tender. Off heat, stir in miso and tamari.
- Cook Kale: Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat 1 tsp oil over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add kale. Season with salt. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until tender. Stir in garlic and sprinkle with chili flakes to taste. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Cook Mushrooms: To the same pan, add another 1 tsp oil and mushrooms. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook mushrooms for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
- Serve: Divide oats between bowls. Top with kale, mushrooms and avocado. Sprinkle scallions over top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and finish with a drizzle of sesame oil. Drizzle with hot sauce (like sriracha) or chili oil, if desired.
Notes
Note: Another optional topping, to boost protein, would be to add 1/4 cup edamame per bowl.
Savory oatmeal is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring in a bit of water or broth to loosen.
