Categories     Berry     Broil     Vegetarian     Kid-Friendly     High Fiber     Low Sodium     Wheat/Gluten-Free     St. Patrick's Day     Chill

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

•15 fluid ounces milk
•1/2 cup pinhead oatmeal (irish steel cut oatmeal)
•1 pinch salt
•1 large egg, beaten
•Grated rind and juice of 1 orange: a bitter Seville orange is best if you can get one
•2 tablespoons sugar
•1/2 ounce gelatine
•2 tablespoons water
•8 ounces heavy cream, whipped
•The fruit sauce of your choice (any slightly thinned fruit jam works well

Steps:

  • The night before: Scald the milk (i.e., heat it to just before boiling but do not let it boil) and remove from heat. Add the oatmeal and the pinch of salt: stir, cover, and soak the oatmeal overnight in the milk. The next day, reheat the oatmeal and milk mixture just until it boils. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes: then remove from heat. Pour the mixture into a bowl and add the beaten egg, grated lemon rind, and sugar to taste. Dissolve the gelatine in the orange juice and water. Add this to the mixture when it's cooled, and then carefully fold in the whipped cream. Pour the whole mixture into a single glass bowl, or into individual parfait glasses, and leave to set. (You may want to stir the contents gently once or twice while they're setting, to keep the oats from sinking to the bottom.) Serve with more whipped cream and 3-4 tablespoons of your chosen fruit sauce on top. Another more parfait-like approach to this dessert: allow the whole recipe's worth of oatmeal cream to set in a single bowl. Stir gently as above, so that the oatmeal is evenly distributed through the mixture when it's set. Then spoon it into parfait glasses, alternating layers of oatmeal cream with more whipped cream and drizzles of fruit sauce. If you want to cut back on the calories a little, you could also substitute creme fraiche or beaten low-fat sour cream for the whipped cream.

This recipe is from the European Cuisines website ( http://www.europeancuisines.com/Ireland-Irish-Donegal-Oatmeal-Sweet-Cream-Dessert-Nonalcoholic ) which features both traditional and modern recipes from European countries. This recipe is traditional (i.e. "old" ) Irish and calls for "pinhead oats" which you may find in your local supermarket as "steel cut oats." It warns against trying to substitute rolled oats in this recipe! I haven't made this recipe yet so times are estimated. Cooking time includes the soaking time for the oats.

SPICED IRISH OATMEAL WITH CREAM AND CRUNCHY SUGAR



Spiced Irish Oatmeal With Cream and Crunchy Sugar image

A shower of heavy cream and plenty of caramelized Demerara sugar may make these Irish oats seem more like dessert than something you'd serve first thing in the morning, but that's all the more reason to bake them up for a special occasion breakfast or brunch. Cardamom and cinnamon give them an especially earthy, perfumed aroma, and toasting the oats in butter before baking them lends nuttiness and depth. They're also extremely easy, and you can assemble the dish the night before, then bake them in the morning. Just add about 10 minutes to the baking time if you're starting them cold from the fridge.
