More savory oats....
Jan. 19th, 2015 10:21 pmPaella sounded good tonight. Rice did not.
I avoid rice as a general rule. Very high simple carb, even brown. Not a great glycemic index. So out came the quick cook steel cut oats.
A little coconut oil went down in a Dansk casserole and the pound of hot sausage got browned, then a diced onion went down into the renderings and when translucent, 1/2 lb of slice crimini mushrooms joined, followed by deglazing the casserole with a bit of Reisling. Two cups of oats added to brown a little bit, then a qt of chicken stock added on the stove top with a large pinch of saffron. While it came to a simmer, the slice sausage was added back, some Chicken salzada added, & 1/2 lb of bay scallops & last a chopped orange bell pepper, then into a 325 degree oven. 35 minute later supper was served wih leftovers sufficient for dinner for two tomorrow & Wednesday as well.
LJ had seconds. First said it was delicious and then asked what it was. I'm pleased and satisfied with my culinary efforts. Moreover, I'm happy producing food that's safe for me to eat and healthy and tasty for my husband, which sadly is no easy feat.
