Golden Oats Recipes

GOLDEN OATS

Steps:

• Melt the margarine in a skillet or sauce pan over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, mix the egg and the oatmeal in a small bowl. This may seem like a lot of oats compared to the amount of egg, but just keep stirring until the oats are coated.
• Add the oats mixture to the skillet.
• Stirring constantly, cook about 5 minutes until the oats are lightly browned ("golden"). They should be dry and separated.
• (At this point, the oat mixture can be stored in a tightly covered container until you are ready to finish cooking. Note that the eggs are cooked, so it doesn't require refrigeration).
• Add the water, stir, and cover.
• Cook about 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid evaporates.
• Make the recipe your own by adding dried or fresh fruit, cinnamon, sauteed peppers or onions, meat or vegetable broth instead of water, and so on.
