BREKKIE SAVOURY OATMEAL

A recipe from Califia Farms and The Nourished Chef

"Savoury oatmeal? Sounds crazy but once you try this recipe you'll have so much appreciation for the humble oat!" says Clarissa Kocovski.

Serves 2

Ingredients 
OATS
3 Cups Water
1 Cup Califia Farms Original Oat Milk
1 Cup Steel-cut Oats
¼ tsp Salt
2 Tbsp Hemp Seeds
2 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast

MUSHROOMS
1 ½ Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Cups Button Mushrooms (sliced)
1 Tbsp Tamari or Soy Sauce

¼ tsp Salt
¼ tsp Garlic Powder
⅛ tsp Black Pepper

KALE
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Cups Kale (de-steamed)
1 tsp Lemon Juice
¼ tsp Salt

TO SERVE
Pumpkin Seeds
Black Sesame Seeds
Chilli Flakes
Truffle Oil

Method:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the steel-cut oats, salt, water and oat milk over high heat. Once bubbling, reduce to medium-low, adjusting as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for approximately 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is velvety and smooth. Once the oats are cooked, stir in hemp seeds and nutritional yeast.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a frypan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add tamari, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Remove from pan. In the same pan, heat the remaining oil. Add the kale, lemon juice and salt. Sauté until kale is wilted.
3. Once ready to serve, spoon the oatmeal into bowls and top with the warm kale, mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, black sesame seeds, chilli flakes and a dash of truffle oil. Enjoy!
