Steel Cut Oats!

[SiouzQ.]

I just made them for the first time, and I'm eating them right now ~ they're fabulous!
A tiny bit more effort but I think I just found a way to make breakfast more exciting!

I've been having them, too, as a result of discussion on the old SLN forum. I tried someone's idea of putting them in the crockpot with a timer. When I get up, wonderful porridge is waiting!

They are good....

I make them in the rice cooker.

I have converted from cooked cut oats to steel cut based muesli keeping tub on go in fridge, adding as much as I take out for then next day. Basically same stuff added as cooked, extra oat bran, fresh ground flax seeds, dried fruit and sprinkle of walnuts.
I have rediscovered taste for oatcakes made from cut oats lately. Simple yet fulfilling.

I love steel cut oats... but what I find even better is to mix them with other grains. In a big covered pot, I add 1/2 cup of each: steel cut oats, bulgur wheat, millet, and quinoa. Then four cups of water and 1/2 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes.

This lasts me all week. I divide it up into 1-cup portions and stick them in the fridge. I pull one out, add raisins and walnuts, heat it in the microwave, and there I have the best breakfast ever!.... That is, at least I think so!

As a Scot, I always use what you call steel cut oats, for porridge, for baking, for skirlie and other Scots dishes, too.
I hate the 'rolled-oats' when making porridge. It should be served, with a little milk and a teaspoon of salt - hate to eat it with sweeteners or fruit!

Must try this!!

I love steel cut oats (but they are hard to find here). I cook up a pot the night before and freeze the leftovers for another time. Just thaw, add some raisins and microwave. They are supposed to be healthier then regular oatmeal. Quite often I add cinnamon and maple extract to the oatmeal as it is cooking - YUM!

Oops. In my previous post, I forgot to say that you bring it to a low boil, then cover it, reduce the heat and let it SIMMER for 15 minutes. Hope that helps!
