Not your grandmother’s oatmeal, Chef Patrick’s reimagined morning staple is fortified with healthful chia and enlivened with cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. Zingy sumac flavoured strawberries are a revelation.
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups oat milk
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 can of coconut milk (400ml)
1/2 cup apple sauce
2 cups rolled oats
1/3 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup of raisins
1/2 Tbsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp cloves
STRAWBERRY SUMAC TOPPING
4 cups fresh strawberries (32oz)
1/4 cup brown sugar
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 Tbsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp sumac
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Method
OATS
1. Blend all the liquid ingredients in a blender.
2. Mix dry ingredients with a whisk.
3. Add wet ingredients into the dry mixture stirring well to make sure chia seeds don’t clump together.
STRAWBERRY SUMAC TOPPING
1. Remove strawberry stems and slice into 3-4 pieces per strawberry.
2. Put everything in a small pot or saucepan and cook for about 5-7 mins on medium until strawberries just begin to break down. (You want chunks of strawberry remaining, not a smooth sauce.)
3. Place in fridge overnight.
4. Top with sumac strawberry topping to serve.
