Title: Oats
Categories: Lowfat Grain
Yield: 4 Servings

1/2	c	Whole oats (a.k.a. groats)
1	tb	Basil
2		Cloves
1	tb	Pumpkin seeds (optional but
		Worth it)
1		Handfull dulse
1 7/8	c	Water

Wash the oats and dry roast them until they're golden brown and have a fruity smell. In addition to improving the taste, the roasting seems to prevent a lot of slimy stuff from glorping out of the pressure cooker valve during cooking. (If you have that problem anyway, try mixing in a small amount of brown rice next time.)

Dulse is a red sea vegetable sometimes found in Irish pubs, that turns green when cooked. Carefully wash the barnacles and other foreign material out of it.

Put the roasted oats, washed dulse, water, and cloves in a pressure cooker and pressure cook them for 45 minutes.

While that's cooking, dry roast the pumpkin seeds until they get lightly browned. It should take less than five minutes. The green Chinese ones are good. This recipe sort of works without them and is lower in fat, but it's twice as good if you leave them in.

When the oats are finished cooking, combine them with the pumpkin seeds and basil. (acknowledgements to Gaye Emmanuel for suggesting basil) Date: Fri, 04 Jun 93 20:02:14 BST From: Dennis Furey
