Love oatmeal but need an extra hit of protein in the morning? The secret ingredient in this genius recipe is eggs, which are cooked slowly with the oats to create a creamy, custardy (and protein-rich) wonder.
Ingredients
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup water
1 cup quick oats
1 tbsp Madras curry paste
1 tsp canola oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp grated ginger
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup cilantro, (whole leaves)
1 red chili, thinly sliced
Instructions
WHISK eggs with broth, water, oats and curry paste in a medium saucepan and set over medium-low. Cook, stirring often, until very creamy, about 15 min.
HEAT a medium non-stick frying pan over medium. Add oil, then onion, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, cumin seeds and salt. Cook until tomatoes soften, 5 to 8 min.
DIVIDE oatmeal among 4 bowls. Top with tomato mixture, cilantro and chili.
