Oatmeal is normally considered a sweet breakfast dish, to which you add fruits, nuts, and a drizzle of a sweet topping such as honey or maple syrup. So how can it be used in savory dishes? Actually really easily, all you need to do is add veggies of your choice, herbs, and spices, and you have a really filling and satiating meal.
Oats are one of the healthiest whole grains, rich in fiber and high in starch, and containing a good amount of protein. Here are some of the tastiest ways to incorporate oatmeal into your savory dishes.
You can make savory oats as a risotto by just switching the rice to oats and cooking everything the same, it tastes just as good and creamy but takes less time to make than normal rice-based risotto.
If you have lots of leftover veggies in your refrigerator that need to be used up, savory oatmeal is a great dish to add them to. You can play around with the recipe and decide what flavors work for you and what spices you can add to make it a little more interesting.
Oatmeal shakshuka is also a dish you should try, most shakshuka dishes don’t contain any carbs and are meant to be served with bread, but by adding oatmeal to your shakshuka you can skip the bread and stay really full.
