Three-minute oat risotto
While most of us think of oats as a vehicle for sweet toppings, I prefer to turn this thinking on its head and add a savoury spin.
SERVES
1
Ingredients
- 1 package unflavoured quick cook steel cut oats
- 3/4 cup of water
- 2 tablespoons frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon butter

Directions
