Savory Oats with Mushrooms and Spinach

Directions

1. Finely chop or mince garlic. Finely chop onion.
2. Lightly spray a large frying pan with olive oil. Add garlic and onion and cook for a few minutes on medium-low heat until translucent
3. I add the stock a tablespoon at a time to cook garlic and onion (instead of using lots of oil).
4. When translucent, add chopped mushrooms and cook for about 3 or 4 minutes. Continue adding stock as necessary.
5. Add chopped spinach and cook for a further minute.
6. Add steel cut oats and stir to coat with mushroom mixture. Cook for one minute
7. Add remaining stock (should be about 1½ cups). Cook and stir until oats are tender (I like mine with a little chew to them). This will take about 5-8 minutes depending on the type of oats you use.
8. Season with black pepper and salt if needed. Garnish with grated parmesan cheese if using.
