Savory oatmeal - hobbitey recipes

Pretty broad recipe, this one.

You will need:

Oatmeal

Stock or broth of your choosing (chicken, beef, vegetable, etc)

Vegetables of your choosing (mushrooms are hardly optional though)

Spices of your choosing. Usually I just use pepper, salt if the stock wasn't already fairly salty, and garlic or onion powder if I didn't put fresh leek or chives or something in there.

Cheese of your choosing (again, optional but not really)

Step 1: bring stock to a boil

Step 2: add oatmeal and vegetables

Step 3: simmer until it's all cooked. It will need stirred a lot.

Step 4: add cheese

Step 5: done
