Savoury Oatmeal With Miso and Green Onions
Savoury Miso Oatmeal with Green Onions is a high-fiber, umami-packed breakfast or anytime meal. Made with miso, a hard-boiled egg, and your choice of vegetables, it’s a nourishing and digestion-friendly recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp coconut oil, ghee or butter
- ¾ cup quick-cooking oats
- 2 green onions thinly sliced, divided
- 2 cups water, bone broth or vegetable broth (or a combination)
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- soft-boiled or hard-boiled eggs, toasted sesame seeds, sriracha and/or tamari for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut oil, oats, and half of the green onions. Cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until the oats are aromatic and take on a bit of colour.
- Add the water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is creamy and most of the water has been absorbed.
- Stir in the miso until it dissolves. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately with the remaining green onions and any or all of the suggested toppings.
Notes
Extra veggies hanging around your fridge or freezer? Give them a quick sauté and add them in to bolster your savoury porridge. Cauliflower, mushrooms, spinach and frozen peas are a few of my faves to stir in for extra nutrients and fibre.
