"As wintertime nears, the appeal of a comforting bowl of oatmeal grows. Oatmeal is easy and straightforward to make, affordable, and packs in a lot of health benefits. It's a good source of protein and fiber, has antioxidants and a lot of important vitamins like iron, magnesium, and vitamin B1; and it can help with improving blood sugar and lowering cholesterol."
"As a grain-based foundation, you can compare it to bread, pasta, or rice, all things you'd serve in a savory context. Tomato is a good gateway to savory oatmeal, too, as it retains some brightness and sweetness. It will also make that oatmeal zing with its acidity, and provide complex depth with its earthiness and umami. Essentially, tomatoes can take oatmeal from dull to dazzling."
Oatmeal is easy to make, affordable, and rich in protein, fiber, antioxidants, iron, magnesium, and vitamin B1, and can improve blood sugar and lower cholesterol. Oatmeal's neutral flavor makes it suitable for savory preparations. Tomato adds brightness, sweetness, acidity, earthiness, and umami, transforming oatmeal from bland to vibrant. Tomatoes can be added fresh, pureed, or as sauce and paired with basil, rosemary, Parmesan, feta, black pepper, olive oil, and more. Oatmeal can be adapted to Italian, Mediterranean, and Mexican flavor profiles using complementary herbs, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments.
