Steel Cut Oats With Ricotta, Pistachios & Raisins
- For the steel cut oats
- 1 cup steel cut oats (not quick cooking)
- 4 cups water
- pinch of salt
- Steel Cut Oats with Ricotta, Pistachios & Raisins (an individual serving)
- 1/2 cup prepared steel cut oats (see step 1)
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar or honey
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon fresh ricotta
- 1 teaspoon chopped pistachios
- To make the oats, bring the water to a boil in a deep pot. Add oats and cook until they begin to thicken. Reduce to a simmer, and continue cooking, uncovered, until grains are slightly tender and water has mostly absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off heat, cover pot and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.rnrnMake-ahead: Steel cut oats reheat very well, so I like to make extra this way we can enjoy them on busy weekday mornings. Store leftovers in a covered container. Spoon our individual portions into a bowl, adding a tablespoon or two of milk or water, then cover and microwave until heated through, about 1 minute does the job in my 1000 watt microwave.
- To serve, add 1/2 cup of cooked oats to a deep bowl. Scatter sugar or honey and raisins on top. Add ricotta cheese and sprinkle pistachios on top. Serve immediately-I like to stir it all up so I get a bit of everything in each spoonful!
