Toasted Irish Oatmeal With Apple Cider Recipes

Steps:

• In a 4-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 7 ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until liquid is absorbed. Stir in chopped apple. If desired, top servings with apple slices, pecans and syrup.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat apple, butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and 3 tablespoons water over medium-high until simmering. Cover and cook until apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup apple mixture for garnish.
• Add oats and 2 cups water to saucepan with remaining apple mixture and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until oats are creamy, about 5 minutes.
• Serve with reserved apple mixture, pecans, and more maple syrup, if desired.

Steps:

• To prepare syrup, bring cider to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until reduced to 1/3 cup (about 20 minutes); set aside.
• To prepare compote, combine 2 cups water, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and dried fruit in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until thick.
• To prepare oatmeal, combine 3 cups water, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; stir in oats. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally.
• Spoon oatmeal into an 11 by 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; cool to room temperature. Cover and chill at least 1 hour or until set. Using a sharp knife, cut oatmeal into 8 equal rectangles; cut each rectangle in half diagonally to form 16 triangles.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 8 oatmeal triangles; cook 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from pan; keep warm. Repeat procedure with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and oatmeal triangles. Place 2 oatmeal triangles on each of 8 plates, and top each serving with 3 1/2 tablespoons fruit compote and about 2 teaspoons syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spread oats in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or jellyroll pan. Toast oats for 15 minutes, turning pan halfway through.
• In a saucepan over medium heat, combine toasted oats, cider and milk. Simmer until oats are tender but not mushy, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in salt. Serve with butter and cream if desired.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, kosher salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan, pour the oil and vinegar mixture over them, and toss well. Arrange the potatoes cut-side down.
• Roast until tender when pierced with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes, tossing potatoes two or three times during roasting process.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar to the cooked potatoes and toss. Season to taste, and add more vinegar if desired. Sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt and chives, and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve immediately.
