BAKED PUMPKIN STEEL CUT OATS



as i mentioned, i have enjoyed the texture and awesomeness of steel cut oats lately. they have become a staple to my breakfast regimen. so, when i was able to combine my other obsession, pumpkin, i was very intrigued! it's like having pumpkin pie for breakfast and i'm happy to enjoy this fall flavor through the winter months...

BAKED PUMPKIN STEEL CUT OATS
posted on thekitchn.com by faith durand on november 2, 2011
  • 2 T unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 1/2 c steel cut oats
  • 1 c pumpkin puree
  • 1/3 c brown sugar
  • 1 t cinnamon
  • 1 t ginger
  • 1/2 t cloves
  • 1/4 t nutmeg
  • 2 c milk
  • 2 1/2 c warm water
  • 1 t vanilla
  • 1/2 t salt
preheat oven to 375°F. 

in a 3-qt saucepan or dutch oven, heat 1 T of butter over medium-high heat. when the butter foams up, stir in oats and fry them, stirring frequently, for about 3 mins or until they smell toasted.

push oats against side of pan and drop second tablespoon of butter in the cleared center of pan. dump in pumpkin puree. fry it in the butter, only stirring after a minute. stir in sugar and spices. fry for another 3-4 mins until the color darkens and the raw smell disappears.

pour in milk and whisk everything together. whisk in water, vanilla, & salt. put a lid on the pan and into the oven. bake for 35 mins. remove lid and stir.

enjoy with cream or milk and maple syrup.

my yummy tip: if you don't have a pot that is oven-safe, you can transfer the mixture into a baking pan and cover tightly with foil.

BESTILLA...MOROCCAN CHICKEN PIE

the first time i had bestilla was at a moroccan restaurant in san francisco, el mansour , which was served family-style. think along came polly -esque, minus the heat and profusely sweating ben stiller. great image to start a recipe entry, right? anyway, this dish is a meal in itself. the middle eastern-spiced chicken is wrapped in flaky phyllo dough and topped with powdered sugar, making it sweet & savory. i will say that this dish is tasking...this is the first time i used phyllo dough and it is incredibly fragile, but so worth it! i think this is one that will be made for special occasions only.

CHICKEN PICCATA & LEMON BRUSSEL SPROUTS

one of my favorite notes in food is sour, usually from lemons. a dish that i think really captures this flavor profile is chicken piccata. i love this and it's incredibly easy to make. the added bonus for me are the capers, which add to the sour note. it seems like there are ways to adjust this recipe by either using white wine and/or garlic, which i may experiment with, especially since i just prepared a julia child's moules a la mariniere recipe that called for these ingredients and it was super delicious (post to follow)! the other, very trendy side i wanted were lemon brussel sprouts. i've had and loved brussels with bacon, but to keep with the lemony theme, i found this extremely delicious recipe! it calls to add cheese, but i was fine without it. these combined may be too much of the same for some, but it is what i considered a perfect homemade meal.

SAUSAGE & KALE STEW WITH OLIVE OIL MASHED POTATOES

mr. miles everett first off, as you can see, i have not been contributing to my poor deprived blog. the last post was in april, which was when i found out i was pregnant with my first baby. a couple things were going on then: 1) i was too nauseous to even think about food (being pregnant is NOT a foodie's friend in the first trimester), then 2) when i finally got my appetite back, all i wanted was take out. i probably won't have time in the new year with a new baby, but i will try to post something at least once a month because blogging about food makes me happy and one of resolutions is to cook more. don't be surprised, however, if my next post are lactation cookies or baby food. anyway…on with my comeback... i found saw this recipe in the november issue of real simple and knew i wanted to make it. i assumed it was something that can be whipped up in a couple hours, but then quickly realized that it was a slow cooker recipe, which would take 8 hours of cooking t...
