Ingredients
3 cups vegetable broth
1 cup quick oats
¼ cup grapeseed oil
1-2 garlic cloves, sliced thin
10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
5 basil leaves, torn
Kosher salt & pepper to taste
3 Tbsp grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or shredded mozzarella (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Add the oats, return to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for 4 hours so the oatmeal firms up nicely.

- Fold in the oatmeal, season with salt and pepper, and mix to incorporate ingredients and warm the oatmeal.
- Distribute on plates, garnish with fresh basil and cheese.
