For the steel cut oats
1 cup steel cut oats (not quick cooking)
4 cups water
pinch of salt
Caramelized Onions, Ricotta & Steel Cut Oats (makes 2 servings)
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon molasses
1 cup cooked steel cut oats (see step 1)
2 tablespoons fresh ricotta

1
To make the oats, bring water to a boil in a deep pot. Add oats and salt, and cook until they begin to thicken. Reduce to a simmer, and continue cooking, uncovered, until grains are slightly tender and water has mostly absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off heat, cover pot and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Saute until they begin to soften and become golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in molasses, and a touch more olive oil if necessary. Cover skillet and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, until onions are very tender, about 10 more minutes.
3
Divide the cooked oatmeal among two bowls. Top with equal amounts of caramelized onions and fresh ricotta. Stir together with your spoon before digging in.
