Chatelaine Triple Tested

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.
