Savory Oatmeal with Zucchini & Eggplant

Savory Oatmeal with Grated Zucchini & Eggplant
Savory oatmeal is a great alternative to traditional oatmeal because it is rich in protein, quality fat, and provides a serving of veggies! You can use whatever veggies you like in place of zucchini and eggplant. I highly recommend choosing pasture-raised eggs because they contain more nutrients, especially vitamin A and E, compared to conventional alternatives. 

Makes 1 serving
Time: 5-10 minutes
 
INGREDIENTS
½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup + water
1 cup grated zucchini and eggplant (or any other chopped/grated veggie)
Spices
Dulse granules to taste
Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Grass-fed butter or olive oil
2 eggs
Optional Toppings: avocado slices, basil, grated cheese, hot sauce, etc
 
DIRECTIONS
In a medium sauce pan add the rolled oats, water, your choice of veggies and cook until the veggies are tender. You may need to add more water during the cooking process. Season with salt and pepper and your choice of spices. Smoked paprika or curry powder go really well with zucchini and eggplant. 
 
Meanwhile in a cast iron skillet, add your choice of fat, and heat over medium. Fry up two pasture raised eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the oatmeal into a bowl, top with fried eggs, and top with your choices of toppings.  
 
Note: To keep recipe low FODMAP choose veggies that are safe per the Monash University Low FODMAP app. Do not add onions or garlic.
