When you’re looking for a cheap, quick, and filling dinner, look no further than this savory oatmeal topped with garlicky green goodness. “But wait,” you say, “Oatmeal is for breakfast!” Not anymore, kids. True, this whole-grain staple is typically cooked as a sweet morning porridge, but it can easily be made into a savory dish just like rice or quinoa by cooking it in broth and adding your favorite veggies and seasonings. Savory oats are also a great breakfast alternative for those who aren’t into morning sweets. Top with a fried egg to make this dish even more filling, or double the recipe and save the extras for tomorrow’s lunch!
