Oat has many good properties and was the medicinal plant of the year 2017 //www.thefruitandflowerbasket.com/cream-during-cosmetic-of-the-year-2017-a52296/. Due to the contained mucilage, which has a positive effect on the digestion, oatmeal is known as a light diet, especially for diarrheal diseases. //www.thefruitandflowerbasket.com/haferflocken-als-schonkost-bei-durchfall-a45288/. Oats are used in the form of oatmeal in most households. That's the most convenient way to provide oats to the consumer.
If you cook oatmeal or oatmeal, the result will be very slimy. This is not for everyone. That's why I often buy whole oat grains, especially to make cereal drinks //www.thefruitandflowerbasket.com/mandel-reismilch-herstellen-a49565/. From a kilo of oat grains I get 20 liters of oat drink and if I mix it with other grains even more. The other day when I sold out in the health food store I struck and bought several kilos of oat grains for 49 cents a kilo, but only at home found that the best before expired. As a whole grain oat is not so perishable and sticks out beyond the BBD, but I do not want to wait too long, so I needed new ideas, got myself informed and tried a lot.
Here is an idea for oat-risotto or oat-grain-salad, based in both cases on the whole boiled oat grains. If you cook whole grains, then they will remain single grains and it will not be a slimy porridge like oatmeal or oatmeal porridge. The nutty taste can be further intensified by toasting the oat grains before or after the preparation. With this recipe I roasted it after cooking.
basis
1 coffee mug (250 ml) Cook oat grains in at least 2 cups (500 ml) of water and ½ teaspoon salt. In the pressure cooker in the unperforated insert for 30 minutes at level 1. In the normal saucepan, correspondingly longer. If you are planning for a longer period of time, you can shorten the cooking time by soaking the oat grains in plenty of water beforehand (1-2 hours or overnight). The soaking water can be used for cooking or replaced with fresh water. Oat grains can also be cooked in advance. They keep well sealed in the fridge for a few days.
ingredients
For the risotto
- 2 carrots
- 2 spring onions
- 6 large brown mushrooms
- 1 zucchini
- 1 tbsp butter or oil
- Herbs and spices to taste
preparation
For the risotto
- While the oats are cooking, wash the vegetables, clean them and cut into small cubes. The harder the vegetables, the smaller the dice. The mushrooms quarter.
- After 30 minutes, cool the pressure cooker under the cold tap until the steam has dissipated and open. Remove the unperforated insert with oats and rinse the oats cold in a sieve.
- In the perforated insert, place the diced carrots in the still hot SKT, close the SKT and heat again as soon as the first ring is visible, switch off the cooker and allow to cool. Who has no SKT, the diced carrots for about 1 minute to oats, just before the is.
- Whilst in a pan, heat 1 tbsp butter and heat the mushrooms, onions and zucchini until lightly browned.
- Add oat grains and roast.
- When everything is lightly browned, switch off the stove and add the briefly steamed carrot cubes and stir well.
- Season to taste with herbs, salt and pepper. Ready is the risotto.
ingredients
For the salad
- 1 red pepper
- 1 cucumber
- 1 hand full of rocket
- 1 handful of iceberg lettuce
For the salad
- Allow the oat risotto to cool.
- Peel the cucumber and cut in half lengthwise and spread the seeds with a teaspoon. (The core case can be used as the basis for the salad dressing).
- Wash and cut salad leaves.
- Add cucumber cubes and lettuce to the cold-rolled oat risotto.
For the salad dressing
- Puree the cucumber seeds and season with herbs, lemon juice, olive oil, a pinch of sugar and other spices and pour over the salad.
The whole thing is a crisp salad, where you have something to chew properly, so you will be full for a long time. The body needs a good deal of time to digest the many good ingredients of the oat and as long as you are full. Oat is also very well tolerated as a whole grain (I can not tolerate other whole grain products so well) and brings the digestion gently in motion. It is a change to other side dishes or a full meal.
The total preparation time was 40 minutes. The oats take a long time to be cooked, but the time can be spent wonderfully with snipping the rest of the ingredients, which then only have to be sautéed briefly or blanched.
