Mushroom Steel Cut Oatmeal Risotto [Vegan]
The more I cook with oats the more I find they have an endless amount of uses. Savory oats are my latest obsession. These steel cut oats retain an al dente quality to them just like arborio rice does in a risotto. If you are gluten-intolerant make sure to buy oats... Read More

How to Prepare Mushroom Steel Cut Oatmeal Risotto [Vegan]
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a saucepan or Dutch oven with a thick bottom until it sizzles when you add a tiny drop of water to the pan.
- Add onions and cook until translucent then add the garlic, mushrooms, bell pepper and herbs. Saute for 5 to 20 minutes, until the mushrooms have browned and released their juices. Add in the oats and stir to prevent them from burning. Cook until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
- Add the sun dried tomatoes and 1 cup of water. Simmer over medium heat stirring often to keep the mixture from burning on the bottom.
- Once the first cup of water has been absorbed by the oats add a second cup of water and keep stirring.
- Add the third cup of water once the second is absorbed and keep stirring (isn’t risotto fun?).
- Once the third cup is absorbed add one more cup water (the forth) and after it’s absorbed try a piece of the oats to see if it’s cooked through. You want it to be al dente so tender but a little chewy.
- If it’s not tender yet add an additional cup of water to insure the oats are cooked through. They should still have a chewy texture and not be mushy.
- Right before serving add the nutritional yeast, salt and pepper.
- Don’t forget you can use the same technique to make a clean out the fridge oat risotto!

I made this without the oats (later to top off some rice), and I added a few things to give it more flavor: half a lemon (because I didn\’t want to use that much salt), parsley (I didn\’t have rosemary), and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar (to balance the salt). It came out OK, so next time, I\’ll get some rosemary to fill in the flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
Grow fresh rosemary. It’s super easy. I live in southern Oklahoma and it grows year round for me.
