Preparation

  1. Start by preparing your savory steel-cut oats, add all ingredients to a nonstick two-quart lidded pot and cover. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer covered for 20 min. Turn off heat and let rest covered for 10 min., then fluff with a fork. Set aside to cool.
  2. While oats are cooking, prepare tabbouleh filling. Remove thick stems from your parsley, and roughly chop remaining parsley/stems until fine. Add to a large bowl.
  3. Add chopped mint and thinly sliced green onion to bowl and season with ½ tsp. salt. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil and stir.
  4. In a small bowl, add the chickpeas, cucumber and cherry tomato. Season with salt (~¼ tsp.), stir, and add to the large bowl with chopped parsley, mint, and green onion.
  5. Finish tabbouleh by stirring in cooled savory steel-cut oats, lemon juice and lemon zest. Season with fresh ground black pepper and additional salt if needed.
