Savory Broccoli Oats

Serves two 

Ingredients: 

1 cup whole oats, steamed in two cups of water (optional: add a rosemary branch or a bay leaf when the water starts boiling to add more flavour) 

1 medium sized broccoli head, florets lightly steamed 

½ of a medium-sized red onion, cut vertically into thin slivers 

1 small-sized garlic bulb, minced 

1 spring onion, green parts included, thoroughly washed and cut vertically into circles 

1 dried chili bell pepper, chopped  

2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil 

Sea salt and freshly-ground black pepper to taste 

Preparation: 

In a pan over medium heat, fry red onion, garlic and chili bell pepper in a tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil for about 3 minutes or until their aroma is released. Add steamed broccoli florets, reduce heat to a minimum, and mix together (be careful not to overcook the broccoli). Turn off heat and add steamed oats, spring onion, sea salt, black pepper and the remaining olive oil. Mix everything together. Enjoy with fresh thick yogurt on the side!
