Steel-cut Irish oatmeal is something that I have put off sampling, much like I've put off eggplant, real popcorn, and garden-picked tomatoes. Though as a fan of regular oatmeal (rolled oats), I am pleased to announce that steel-cut oats are one more step up from that! They are oatier, sweeter, and have more pleasant chewy texture than even a good bowl of rolled oats. Go, Ireland! Good food really does take a little longer to prepare.
Though the rice cooker did an admirable job. Maybe less water next time - always less water when using a rice cooker.
Oats!!!
I used some organic supermarket steel-cut oats for my breakfast, so maybe the organic has something to do with the sweet, sweet oatiness of it all. Great breakfast for today's snow storm, btw. It's all proper and Irish with milk, syrup (maybe should have been brown sugar), and milky black tea as my beverage.
