As one of those people who eat oatmeal 3 or 4 times a week, I am always looking for was to make my daily bowl more interesting. This recent invention was quite wonderful and sophisticated in flavor. Not a kid dish as the ginger adds a bit of spice, use more or less if you are inclined. Ingredients:
1 cup oats |
2 cups water |
2 tablespoons crystallized ginger or 2 tablespoons candied ginger, fine diced |
1 cup canned peaches in juice |
sugar (optional) or sugar substitute, to taste (optional) |
milk (optional) or yogurt (optional) or cream, to taste (optional) |
Directions:
1. Bring water to boil in a small saucepan; add oatmeal and cook 1 minute (if you want you can use the peach juice as part of your 2 cups of liquid).
2. Add finely chopped ginger to the pot (be sure to cut small as it swells quite a bit); continue to cook another 2-3 minutes.
3. Add peaches and cook oatmeal until desired doneness, about 2-4 minutes depending on your grain and eating preferences.
4. Serve topped with sweetener, milk, yogurt or cream, again according to your tastes.
