TOASTED OATMEAL

My old roommate used to cook this all the time as a quick and easy yogurt topping. I also think it's nice with a little bit of cream instead. Please use butter if you can stand it, there's no comparison!

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups steel-cut Irish oats
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
8 ripe but still firm apricots, pitted and quartered
1/2 cup apricot nectar
1/4 cup clover honey
4 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
1 cup warm milk
3/4 cup shelled pistachios, toasted and chopped
Rose water, for drizzling, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Spread the oats on a baking sheet in an even layer and bake, stirring occasionally, until lightly toasted, about 15 minutes.
  • In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water and the sea salt to a boil. Stir in the toasted oatmeal and cook for 1 minute. Cover the pot tightly and cool to room temperature. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • The next morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the apricot quarters in a medium glass roasting pan and bake until slightly softened, about 10 minutes.
  • While the apricots roast, combine the apricot nectar, honey, cloves and cinnamon sticks in a medium skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the baked apricots and any pan juices and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apricots are well caramelized and the liquid is syrupy, about 5 minutes.
  • Return the chilled oatmeal to the stove and cook over low heat until heated through. Stir in the warm milk and cook until incorporated.
  • Spoon the oatmeal into bowls, top with some of the apricots with syrup and sprinkle with pistachios. Drizzle with rose water if desired.
