Bacon & Cheese Savoury Oats (Trust me on this one!)

It’s National Porridge Week and I’m delighted to be teaming up with @flahavans to take on the “Bags Full of Potential” Challenge to showcase just how versatile Flahavan’s Oats are.

When you hear the word Porridge, most of us automatically picture a delicious steaming hot bowl, drizzled with honey & topped with fruit, but did you know that in Asia, savoury porridge oats are common place? It got me thinking, why it never took off in this part of the world?

I never had much of a sweet tooth and definitely prefer a breakfast that’s savoury so I decided to take influence from Asia’s savoury porridge but use some sharp Cheddar and Smokey Bacon. Trust me, It was incredibly delicious and it didn’t feel like it had to be breakfast anymore either. You could easily have this for lunch or dinner and it takes around 10 minutes!

What you need:
serve 2

* 80g Flahavan’s Porridge Oats
* 295ml of Chicken/Veg Stock
* 235ml Milk
* 70g Red Mature Cheddar, grated
* 100g Smoked Bacon Lardons
* Salt and Pepper to taste

Serve with:
* A Runny Seasoned Fried Egg
* Sliced Avocado
* Sautéed Spinach
* Chives, Chopped

What to do:

– Fry off the Bacon in a little oil until crisp, set aside
– In the same pot, add the Flahavan’s Porridge Oats, Stock/Water, the Milk & stir it up over medium heat until cooked
– Add the cheedar, return back the bacon and mix until cheese is melted (don’t forget to reserve some bacon to serve on top later)
– Season well with salt and black pepper to taste (add some butter if you’re feeling indulgent)
– Top with the seasoned fried egg, sliced avocado, sautéed spinach, crisp bacon and chives.
– Enjoy!

Did you know that oats are so versatile and that they can be used to create delicious breakfasts as well as flavourful dinners? This month, why not challenge yourself to create one savoury oat-based recipe like our Mushroom Oatsotto Porridge?
Follow our recipe below and let us know how you get on!

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 30 mins
Difficulty Level: Medium

You’ll need:
• 1 L vegetable stock
• 115g unsalted butter
• 1 banana shallot, peeled and finely chopped
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 175g portobello mushrooms, roughly chopped
• 175g chestnut mushrooms, roughly chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 100ml white wine
• 100g Flahavan’s Organic Porridge Oats
• 50g Flahavan’s Organic Jumbo Oats (plus a handful toasted for garnish)
• 100g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
• sautéed baby spinach and fried wild mushrooms, for garnish

Method:
1. In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable stock over medium heat until simmering, then reduce heat to low and keep covered.
2. Meanwhile, melt 100g of the butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat before adding the shallot and salt. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 180ºC.
3. Add all the mushrooms, garlic and thyme and cook (stirring frequently) until mushrooms are deeply browned, stirring frequently. Add the wine and cook for 1 minute.
4. Reduce heat to medium and add the Flahavan’s Organic Jumbo and Organic Porridge Oats then cook for a minute while stirring. Add 2 ladles of hot stock and cook, stirring until oats have absorbed almost all of the liquid. Continue adding stock, 1 ladle at a time, and stirring until absorbed (approx. 20 minutes)
5. While this is cooking toast the extra handful of jumbo oats in the oven for approx. 10 mins until golden then set aside.
6. If needed, add some water to the risotto until all oats are tender. Once tender, turn off the heat.
7. To finish, stir in the 100g parmesan cheese and the remaining butter. Serve in warm bowls and top with the parsley, toasted oats and extra Parmesan if desired.
