Steel Cut Oats For Dinner: Turmeric Porridge with Kimchi and Fried Egg

Steel cut oats for dinner? Why not? Oat is really just another whole grain. (It is one, we should mention, with a history as an aphrodisiac. Learn more about the aphrodisiac side of oats.) And steel cut oats, which are oats that have been chopped up rather than rolled, have a texture reminiscent of other grains that have been slow cooked. We’re featuring this turmeric porridge recipe because it takes the aphrodisiac of oats and layers it with other libido boosting ingredients. This porridge recipe was sent to us by Flahavan’s Oats. Sure, this Irish oat company has been milling oats since the 1700’s. But we were surprised that they were bold enough to bring out the sexy side of oats, with a hot an savory dish like this one. Blending Irish porridge with Korean kimchi? It’s a brave and startlingly inspired culinary mashup. And we love it!

We can’t resist a recipe layered with chile and turmeric and topped with a super-sensual poached egg, (which is, of course, another aphrodisiac ingredient). Try this turmeric porridge tonight to discover why oats are for dinner, too.
