Serves 1
Ingredients
- ½ cup steel-cut oats (or farro if you want to repeat my “experiment”)
- 1¾ cups water
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 cups chopped stemmed kale or greens of choice
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms (we love using shiitake, but any kind is delicious)
- 3 to 4 sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce or hot sauce of choice, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseed meal
Method
- In a saucepan, combine the oats, water, nutritional yeast, kale, mushrooms, tomatoes (reserving some for garnish if you like), turmeric, and hot sauce. Bring just to a boil, watching carefully and stirring to prevent burning. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes; not all water will be absorbed when it is removed from the stove, but it thickens as it cools.
- Sprinkle with sun-dried tomatoes, chia seeds, or flaxseed meal and feel the goodness.
