Traditional risotto gets a modern upgrade using steel-cut oats, simmered with wine, stock, and cheese for a creamy, savory side dish.
Ingredients:
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 bunch spring onions, chopped, or more to taste
  • 5 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 0.5 bunch spring garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • 2 cups steel-cut oats
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 0.33333334326744 cup white wine
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Instructions:
  • Simmer chicken stock in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until hot. Cover to keep warm once simmering.
  • Chop up 2 tablespoons of spring onion tops and set aside for later use.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the rest of the spring onions and cook until wilted for about 1 minute. Stir in the spring garlic and cook until soft, for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Toast oats in the skillet for 30 seconds. Add butter and cook until oats are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in wine and cook until it evaporates, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour enough chicken stock into the skillet to cover the oats; cook and stir until stock is almost absorbed, for about 3 minutes. Add more stock gradually, stirring constantly until oats are creamy and tender, about 24 minutes. Finally, mix in the spring onion tops and cook for another minute.
  • Lower the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese until melted, which should take about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
