Ingredients

2 cups steel cut or Irish oats (a brand like McCanns or Bob's Red Mill)

6 cups water

1/8-1/4 cup buttermilk and/or soymilk, plus more to taste (regular milk will work too but the other two are much more complementary with oats)

1-2 teaspoons nutmeg and/or cinnamon, plus more for dusting to taste

1 cup pecans, chopped and toasted

2 cups berries, preferably strawberries

Directions

In a large skillet or saute pan, toast the oats on medium-low heat until fragrant and golden but not burned, stirring or shaking often. If using a skillet, transfer to a large saucepan.

Add six cups of water (or about 1/2 cup less if you like your oats thicker) and boil, covered, for about 15 minutes. Stir every couple of minutes.

When oats are only slightly thickened, add buttermilk by pouring it twice around in a circle around the circumference of a pan (if this is unclear, see photo of buttermilk swirl above), about 1/8 to 1/4 cup. Add 1-2 teaspoons of nutmeg or cinnamon, stir, and cover.

Cook until oats reach desired thickness, about 10 minutes more. I have found that the remaining cooking time is highly dependent on brand of oats used, so watch the pot closely.

When done, serve into individual bowls. One serving will be about 3/4 cup. Add additional nutmeg or cinnamon and buttermilk or soymilk and top with berries and toasted pecans. Serve immediately.

Note: if you are making a large batch to eat throughout the week, refrigerate after the oats are done cooking. Add the additional toppings after the oats have been re-heated immediately before eating.

I am looking forward to trying this type of oatmeal. I must confess that I have only tried the rolled oatmeal (Quaker Oats)in the past. I'll make this addition to my next store list.
