I just made up the following: oatmeal butter (just a bit) some shredded sharp cheddar cheese salt & black pepper Hot Salt (my addiction) It's very tasty - odd, but tasty.

Not exacly what I'd call "savory", but it's quick, balanced, and Very Good! :) Sat, 15 Jul 2006 01:29:40 GMT http://healthylazy.tribe.net/thread/80e0002a-9ca8-4831-af2f-6cf5ac901744#b88b36d6-39ac-4309-9287-7b2de2710802 strangekat 2006-07-15T01:29:40Z http://healthylazy.tribe.net/thread/80e0002a-9ca8-4831-af2f-6cf5ac901744#3eb2b7b7-b811-453b-b6dd-9a6c40967bc7 I'll bet the risotto recipe would work great with whole oats (i.e. not rolled, but the actual seed). And I'll bet the polenta recipe would be fantastic with steel cut oats!

D'ya think it would work to substitute oatmeal for rice in a risotto recipe, or cornmeal in a polenta recipe?

When the onions turn golden brown, add the salt, cayenne pepper, and coriander powder. Add the chopped tomatoes and let it sautee for about a minute. Add the oatmeal and water and cook until the water evaporates and the oatmeal has a thick consistency [couple minutes]. Throw in the spinach leaves and allow them to wilt from the heat. Adjust seasonings to your preference. Serve hot.

Oatmeal and fruit! Oatmeal and any variety of seasonings Oatmeal with gravy, replacing mashed potatoes. Oatmeal and steamed veggies, yum! Oatmeal added to chili! Oatmeal has a good amount of fiber and oats also provide support for smooth nervous system functioning!

Traditional ways to serve grits are with butter, with butter and cheese, especially sharper cheeses like cheddar, or with eggs and sausage. Please do let us know what you try and how it was!

You have stumbled onto a secret of mine. Spicy oatmeal ! I rarely even eat it sweet anymore, except with yogurt-apples-nuts-honey-and lots of pumpkin pie spices. Start with a hearty mix of grains/oats(not overcooked and sticky, loose and slightly dry ) Add a heaping spoon full of sour cream(veggie or dairy) or yogurt(goat milk preferred). Reach for the spike or trader joes 21 salute. Add cayenne or chili powder. Boost with a hint of tabasco or siracha. Dash of pepper. Stand back.... It is a whole new world. :o) (p.s. I have experienced instant stuff from Japan that comes flavored with jalapeno,cheddar and broccoli . Not for everyone, but tasty if you like different textures in your mouth.)

I eat a lot of oatmeal, but never thought of making it savory...what about adding crumbled Morningstar (or similar) veggie-sausage bits?

I crave savory/salt-based foods more than sweets. Has anyone ever tried to spice up oatmeal?
