When the mood strikes, I prepare this simple meal. It’s definitely not what Emeril would prepare in his kitchen. But then again, you never know. This meal is delicious and can gives energy and serenity. It works when you’re tired and want to sit quietly chewing easily, or when you’re hungry and want a boost.
NO RUSHING- IT NEEDS TO COOK SLOWLY. Begin with steel cut oats. I use Arrowhead Mills. Put in about half a cup, depending on the number of people waiting in line for this wonderful meal in a bowl. Add lots of water, filtered or bottled. Place on very low flame in heavy small pot. Stir often so that it doesn’t stick to pot. When you think it’s cooked to your taste, try it, add chopped organic calimyrna figs when it’s almost cooked. Stir a little more. Now, put into a beautiful bowl. Add about two spoonfuls of a good quality olive oil. This also to taste. Stir. Add stevia. If you haven’t tried stevia, use very, very little til you get used to the taste. This last part is totally up to you. Put in a bit of organic hemp seed butter. I admit, this is different. But, if you stay with it, it’s wonderful and good for you. Bring your beautiful bowl with its delicious contents to your favorite sitting spot; take small spoonfuls, chew well and eat slowly. Bon appetit.
