    Recipe Introduction


    The cut grain of steel-cut oats means they take longer to cook than rolled oats - but the distinctive texture makes it all worthwhile! As an added treat, toss in some raisins, chopped dates or other dried or fresh fruits and nuts just before serving.


    List of Ingredients




    3 cups water
    Pinch of salt
    1 cup steel-cut oats (also called Irish oatmeal and Scotch oats)

    Recipe



    Bring water and salt to a boil in medium saucepan. Stir in oats and reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until the grains have absorbed most of the water. Remove from heat and serve immediately, or if a thicker texture is desired, cover saucepan and let sit for a few minutes.

    Serving suggestion: Sweeten with a desired sweetner such as raw suger, granulated sugar, brown sugar or honey and drizzle with a small amount of milk, half-and-half or heavy cream.

    Makes 3 to 4 servings.

    Cook's Note: To toast steel-cut oats, place them in a preheated 300*F (150*C) oven for approximately 20 minutes. Cool and place any unused portion in a tightly covered container, storing in a cool place. Toasted oats cook in half the time.
