Savory Oat Risotto Dish

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Oat Risotto Dish.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious dish, grab a small saucepan and gently heat the chicken stock over medium heat until it begins to simmer, which should take about five minutes.

2. Step 2

   Once it’s simmering, remove it from the heat and cover it to keep warm.

3. Step 3

   While that’s happening, set aside two tablespoons of the vibrant spring onion tops for a lovely garnish later on.

4. Step 4

   Now, let’s move to a large skillet.

5. Step 5

   Melt two tablespoons of butter over medium heat, and then toss in the chopped spring onions.

6. Step 6

   Sauté them for about a minute until they’re wilted and fragrant.

7. Step 7

   Next, add in the minced spring garlic and let it cook for an additional two to three minutes until it becomes soft and aromatic.

8. Step 8

   It’s time to introduce the star of the show: the steel-cut oats.

9. Step 9

   Stir them into the skillet and let them mingle for about 30 seconds.

10. Step 10

    Then, add another two tablespoons of butter and cook, stirring frequently, until the oats are lightly toasted, which should take around two minutes.

11. Step 11

    Don’t forget to season with a pinch of sea salt and a dash of black pepper to enhance those flavors.

12. Step 12

    Now, pour in the white wine and stir as it cooks down, allowing it to evaporate for about three minutes.

13. Step 13

    Once the wine has disappeared, ladle enough of that warm chicken stock into the skillet to cover the oats.

14. Step 14

    Cook while stirring often until the stock is nearly absorbed, which will take about three minutes.

15. Step 15

    Keep this process going, adding more stock and stirring until each addition is absorbed, until the oats are tender and creamy—this should take around 24 minutes.

16. Step 16

    When the oats are just right, stir in the reserved spring onion tops and let them cook for about a minute to infuse their flavor.

17. Step 17

    Lower the heat and mix in the last tablespoon of butter along with the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, stirring until it melts into a creamy delight, which should take about a minute.

18. Step 18

    Finally, taste your creation and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt and pepper if needed.

19. Step 19

    Enjoy the comforting, rich flavors of your dish, and don’t forget to garnish with those beautiful spring onion tops for a pop of color!.
