Total time: 50 min
Yield: 4 serving(s)
Ingredients: 1 1/4 cups (310 ml) steel-cut oats; 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter; 5 cups (1.25 litre) water; 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt; 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter; 2 tablespoons (30 ml) sugar; 2 pears, peeled, cored and diced; 2 tablespoons (30 ml) currants; 1/2 cup (125 ml) shelled pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped; Maple syrup

Preparation

OATMEAL
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, toast the oats in the butter for 2 minutes. Add the water and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, until the oatmeal thickens and is tender, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring frequently, especially toward the end.
PEAR AND MAPLE TOPPING
- Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the butter and sugar until they begin to colour. Add the pears and currants. Sauté until the pears are tender and coloured a light gold, about 4 minutes.
- Serve the hot oatmeal in bowls. Spoon some of the topping onto each portion. Sprinkle with pecans and drizzle with maple syrup.
