Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 cup onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 1 unit egg (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
Add the rolled oats and a pinch of salt to the boiling water. Reduce heat to low and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the oats are tender and creamy.
While the oats cook, heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring often, until the mushrooms are tender.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until wilted.
Stir in the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the vegetable mixture. Remove from heat.
Once the oats are cooked, divide them equally into two bowls.
Top each bowl of oatmeal with the sautéed vegetable mixture.
If desired, top each serving with a fried or poached egg for extra protein.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese (if using) over the top for added richness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your cozy, savory oatmeal!
