Today for breakfast, I made garlic fried oatmeal topped with a couple of fried eggs.
It was inspired by Cameron Diaz' savoury oatmeal.
The result was a satisfying and quite filling dish that can be quite versatile, as far as recipes go.
I intentionally planned it for breakfast (since I don't know how it will affect my bg). At least, my morning exercise could help keep the bg to not spike too high, just in case. This is the basic recipe.
GARLIC FRIED OATMEAL
2 cloves garlic - crushed and finely chopped
1/2 cup uncooked large flakes rolled oats
1/2 cup water
Butter
Salt to taste
Melt butter in a non-stick skillet. Add the garlic and cook until lightly golden.
Add the oats, and toss it in the skillet - lightly toasting it.
Add the water and salt. Keep stirring it around. Cook it to the texture that you prefer.
I don't like it mushy, preferring a slight chewiness to it, thus I only used 1/2 water.
Add a little more water, if needed.
This produced about 1 cup cooked oatmeal. I couldn't finish it - ate only half.
Along with the eggs, it didn't take long to fill me up. A good thing though, I've got the leftover sitting in the fridge to see if it can be stored like rice, how storing it in the fridge would affect it.
This makes for a very healthy side-dish, in lieu of rice.

(Note: next time, I'll also fry onions, and add soya sauce with lemon juice.)
