Servings 1 person

Equipment

  • Stove

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup whole oats
  • 1 tsp Chia seeds, flaxmeal & hempseeds optional
  • 2 cups vegetables eg. zuchinni, mushroom, spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, I like to precook the broccoli & cauliflower
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric try to get good quality turmeric
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2/3 cup water
  • hot sauce eg. sriracha or cayenne pepper sauce

Instructions
 

  • Place oats & seeds into a pot, add water to cover
  • Cook until oats are cooked and there is no liquid left (you may need to add more if it is not cooked enough).
  • Then add the vegetables with some more splashes of water until they cooked through to your liking, I like my zuchinni and mushroom abit crunchy.
  • Add the turmeric & the nutritional yeast with some more water if required.
  • If you like it abit creamy, you can add some plant based milk here.
  • Add hot sauce on top and enjoy...

Notes

NB:  You can add any vegetables like such as leek, pumpkin, cabbage, capsicum or carrot... Feel free to pre-cook them, grate them or finely dice.  Have play to what works best for you. 
I find that it is best to cook the oats first, otherwise it just doesn't seem to cook very well if the vegetables are added at the beginning.
