Ingredients
Speedy Steel Cut Oat Risotto
Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS
- Drizzle olive oil in pan and heat over medium heat until hot (about 1 min)
- Add leeks and garlic and saute 2-3 minutes. Add the oats and saute for 1 more minute. Add stock gradually (about 1 cup at a time), stirring until mixed completely and starting to absorb before adding remaining broth.
- Add the peas, green onions, and all seasonings and stir until combined.
- Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring a few times while cooking. If making as a main dish, use this time to sauté your shrimp or warm up your protein.
- Remove from heat. Serve warm. Feel free to add additional mix ins (crumbled bacon, cheese, etc). Top with protein, if using.
Notes
For Serving: I like to scoop into a bowls and top with roasted veggies and some type of protein...shredded chicken, baked white fish, sautéed shrimp.
A few ideas:
- A really yummy seasoning to use here is Kinders Woodfired Garlic seasoning on any of these proteins!).
- Try with pre-cooked shrimp for a super quick dinner. Just sauté thawed shrimp with a little EVOO, garlic, white wine, lemon juice and dried parsley until heated. The sauté liquid tastes amazing drizzled over top!
- Feel free to add more toppings as final garnish (more sliced green onion, shredded cheese, drizzle of hot sauce)
