3 Savoury Porridge Ideas | Savoury Oatmeal Recipes for Breakfast Lunch or Dinner

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Hey! I really hope this video rings your bell. I know the first time I heard about savoury porridge I was a bit hesitant, but why? It makes so much sense! I hope you give it a go and keep me updated!

[@WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

I'd heard about savory oatmeal well over a year ago but was reluctant to try it. But this morning I woke up realizing I've been eating too much sweet (and too much honey in tea!). I already had my slow but lazy oatmeal ready when I turned on your video (where I just put the oats, water and salt in a small casserole dish in a 200-degree oven and let it cook for several hours), and just while listening to your video I added a bit of butter (which is mostly a no-no for me, but a treat) and then some unsalted roasted peanuts. I love it...! Really enjoy your style, and even though I may not go for any of your recipes exactly, they give me great ideas. Thanks for the video!

[@WholeBibleBelieverWoman]

P.S. I am ESPECIALLY glad to warm up to oats more -- because eat foods with fiber is a big deal for me, and they are also otherwise so nutritious. And I'll still do it with blueberries and banana sometimes too!

[@fashionovawigs]

I love how chill and not pretentious she is, its a nice break from the over charismatic chefs who look like they did a line of coke before shooting the video

Oh my god 😄

Exactly what i thought after the first 30 seconds of the vid !

I love it with canned tuna and poached egg; the yolk gives the whole meal really rich, creamy texture.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Mmmm I love a yolky anything!

[@HillbillyYEEHAA]

I wanted to try it with Tuna but knowing me, it'd smell...tuna-ry 😂

[@GunNut37086]

OMG, you just changed my life. I have tried all kinds of things in my grits, but NEVER butter and sugar. I don't even know why I never thought of trying savory oats. THANK YOU , so much!!

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Wahoo! You’re so welcome! I’m excited for you!

[@awezomnezz1]

Ok, so this morning I wanted to try savory oatmeal with an egg on it, so i made it on the stove with 1/2 cup oats and 1 cup of chicken broth, and it was not good lol, so if anyone is thinking of trying oatmeal with chicken broth just add a splash, don’t replace all the water with it. Great video by the way! Excited to try the other recipes :D

[@kerriewithpurpose5722]

Thanks for the heads up...I was thinking of trying veg stock ...now I am wondering if to try it at all.

[@morgaaaaaa]

i love savoury rice as a breakfast food, but im a mess and don't usually have enough time to cook it in the morning. this is a game changer for me!!! not a big fan of sugary breakfast, but I love porridge !!

[@magdalenarajkowski6842]

I love savory oats!! I add lentils for some added protein as well!! Got the idea from the oh she glows cook book

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Oh that’s a good call. I love lentils too!

[@ayeshaqazi7001]

Thats brilliant, thanks

[@notquitehim]

Thank you for blowing my mind! I've started to do some meal prep and was so torn because I really appreciate the nutritional value of porridge but was getting sick of eating a sweet version of it every day. This is a game-changer :)

[@HowToMakeDinner]

This is great to hear! Im excited for your new porridge chapter! 😄

[@syedamaheenjahan3508]

It's the opposite for me haha, I grew up having savory oat meals and was surprised that it could be sweety as well. Both are amazing though!

Haha thank you! 😄

[@hannahpea78]

I like adding a broth powder and some chopped leeks and mushrooms to the quick oats before they start to boil. Season with s&p when done.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

oh ya I'm a huge fan of bumping up that brothy flavour. NICE!

[@floydblandston108]

I use steel cut oats in the summer as a break from rice. Cooked in the crock pot on low on the porch keeps the heat out of the kitchen too! Makes a great side to some fresh cut garden veggies and a chunk of cheese- oil and/or vinegar to taste.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

the idea of a slow cooker cooking away on the porch sounds very dreamy. Love it!

[@floydblandston108]

@@HowToMakeDinner - 6 cups water, 2 cups groats, salt to taste- 24 hours on low I make my fried potatoes that way too, with an air fryer. Most years we don't even open all the windows on the house; they're painted shut anyway.

I love dissolving some miso into the porridge at the end. Or zaatar spiced oil is wonderful as well.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Yum! Yes!!

I definitely recommend a mashed potato and brown sauce sandwich. PS I'm English. But It never occurred to me make savoury porridge. Thanks, it was really nice.

[@alicecilepin9370]

Cant wait to try making a savoury porridge and tasting it….. never have I ever b4…. Thanks 😊

[@CharGC123]

Not a sweets for breakfast person, so savory oats have always been my go to. My latest thing is throwing together loaded veggie oat groat porridge in the instant pot before bed... lentils, greens, aromatics, mushrooms, whatever, sealing and setting the timer so it's done for breakfast! All hands off besides the few minutes it takes to throw everything into the pot, and almost as good as having someone cook breakfast for you!

[@HowToMakeDinner]

I love the idea of adding lentils! And I love waking up to a warm breakfast all ready to go. So cozy!

[@suequinn3468]

For a couple of months I’ve been doing very thick oatmeal with an egg; but, I use butter and brown it while I’m cooking the egg. Of course, the yolk is runny. The browned butter really plays well with the oats.

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Yes! Browned butter is such a nice touch!

[@londondaze]

I don't know how I found you, but I'm so glad I did! I love your attitude and the way you speak so casually. I've been thinking of ways to make oatmeal more interesting and you gave wonderful ideas here. Now that I see the volume of videos you've put out, I'm so happy. I will be watching them nonstop and looking forward to your next ones. Thanks for the great ideas!

[@chrystalsnow145]

You Porridges are fantastic 😋

[@wordswordswords8203]

I had my first bowl of savory oatmeal tonight. It was similar to the soy sauce and greens one you did. I did like it but it was a little weird to me eating the oats that way. I think I just need to mentally adjust cuz it did taste good and what I really like is how oats are so filling, especially at night when I tend to binge eat.

[@pinchebruha405]

Isnt stand mushy oats I’m going to try savory oats but I will not be over cooking my oats 😂 I think the texture is more palatable with savory 🎉oats recipes

Totally!

[@pushon10]

I like porridge with garlic, onions, chillies, bacon lardons, asparagus and dill.

[@mysticmeadowshomestead6209]

I'm reading a book series at in Scottish Highlands. They dip cooked foods into prepared oatmeal. Example, they dip tatties (french fries that are sliced instead of julienne). They dip fish that was rolled in raw oats, deep fried, then when they take it to the table they dip it into cooked oatmeal.

[@glendahingley491]

Awww... seeing Grandma's canister made me tear up a bit! I remember it from as early as 1963 so it has had quite a life. My work kitchen has about 3 square feet of countertop and no range, so I do porridge for 12 toddlers with a no-cook method. I put the quick oats in a casserole dish (plus salt and sometimes sugar), then boil a kettle. Set the casserole dish on a couple of tea towels, pour in the boiling water, stir, then cover and put more tea towels on top for a bit of insulation. Let it sit 15 minutes to half an hour, adjust with more water if it is too thick and poof! it's done. Quick oats should definitely be on my convenient foods!

[@HowToMakeDinner]

WHoa that is almost antique status! I love that tin! I'm so glad to have it and use it every day :) xoxo

[@leroy7513]

I love oats ! Except the way my Grandpa made them , he would pour them into the boiling water, then stir and stir and stir ,then stir some more, then after that he stir them and some more, and it would make them slimy like hot wall paper past. Makes gag just thinking about them. Then I learned to make them myself and really enjoy them.

[@marialeduc6770]

thank you

[@aussiejake4792]

Looks amazing 🤩 do you add hot or cold water ?

[@HowToMakeDinner]

Usually I have some hot water left in the kettle from my tea, so I use that! But if not, cold water works fine too :)

All of you people saying oat meal shouldn’t be savory are wrong and RACIST. To everyone asking, no, it is not weird to put soy sauce in your oat meal. This is something I have done my whole life and believe to be completely normal, yet all of the staff here at the insane asylum where I live think I’m crazy for it. Amazing how of all the people freaked out about a little soy in their oat meal, I’m the one court ordered to be here, when all I did was kill my parents, cook them into a stew, and eat it.
