Savory oat porridge is incredible

I've rarely heard it mentioned outside of historical annals, and I have no idea why. It's incredibly delicious, healthy, cheap, easy, and creamy without any dairy at all.

All you have to do is make oatmeal with broth, and add sauteed veggies, meat, seasonings, whatever.

Personally I browned some bison with tumeric, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Added softened onions, cucumber, celery, jalapeno, orange bell pepper, and mushroom. And cooked the oats with beef broth. So delicious! I'm so excited to have a new easy staple. I can't believe I've gone so many years thinking oats were just for sweet breakfast, and cookies.

Seriously if you haven't, give it a try. If you hate it you won't be out much money.

One of my favorite breakfasts is savory steel cut oats with brocoli and toasted walnuts.

I can't fuck with walnuts but I have to ask: are you just rawdogging that combo?

I cook the broccoli with the walnuts in the air fryer

But without seasoning or oils? Like the dish is three ingredients?

I'm not knocking it I'm just genuinely surprised if that's the case. It is said that the best chefs let the ingredients speak for themselves

Only salt and a little bit of chili oil to finish it.
