Savory oatmeal? It may sound strange but it's delicious! Cooking the steel-cut oatmeal in vegetable oil adds a depth of flavor that's similar to risotto or grits. Then, top with sauteed mushrooms, wilted kale, and shaved Parmesan cheese.

Steel-Cut Oats with Mushrooms and Kale

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onions. Cook for 3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and stock. Bring to boiling. 

Add oats; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and oats are tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Fold in kale and shredded Parmesan cheese. 

Divide mixture among four serving bowls. Garnish with shaved Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately.
