Savory Oatmeal

I’m never going back to unsavory oatmeal. Or, for awhile, at least.

Ingredients (makes enough for 2-3 people)

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup veggie broth
• Olive oil for frying and garnish
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup kabocha squash, steamed
• 1/8 cup water
• 1 Tbs chives, diced.
• A few slices of tofu
• 1/4 cup onions, diced (optional)

Directions

1. Blend the kabocha squash with 1/8 cup water. Add more water if necessary.
2. Cook oatmeal according to package directions except replace 1/4 cup of the water with vegetable broth.
3. While the oatmeal is cooking, heat 1 Tbs of olive oil up in a pan and fry the tofu slices on both sides until crispy and golden-brown.
4. Pour the oatmeal in bowls and place the tofu and a large dollop of the kabocha squash on top of the oatmeal.
5. Garnish with 1 tsp olive oil, chives, sauteed onions (optional), salt & pepper.
