Savory Oatmeal with Tomato & Sausage
Oats get a new life in this savory dish, serving as the backbone for a satisfying combo of sausage, greens, tomatoes and herbs.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons sunflower or neutral oil, such as canola or avocado, divided
- 1 ½ ounces fully cooked sweet italian chicken sausage (1/2 link)
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup grape tomatoes, halved
- ⅓ cup packed fresh herbs, such as parsley and/or cilantro
- ½ cup packed baby arugula
- 1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted (see tip)
- 1 large lemon wedge
Directions
- Heat 1 tsp. oil in a small nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir in oats and salt; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes.
- Thinly slice the sausage into coins. Stir the sausage, tomatoes, and herbs into the cooked oatmeal. Transfer to a bowl. Top with arugula and pine nuts; drizzle with the remaining 1 tsp. oil. Serve with lemon wedge, if desired.
