Ingredients

Oatmeal Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Ghee or butter
  • ½ cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • ½ teaspoon Ancho
  • ¼ teaspoon Cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon Coriander
  • 1 tablespoon Salsa
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock

Oatmeal Toppings

  • ¼ cup Monterrey Jack Cheese
  • 12 oz Jalapeno Sausage Link
  • ½ tablespoon pickled hatch chiles

Instructions

  • Heat ghee in medium saucepan on medium heat. Add the raw oats and toast for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the spices (ancho, cumin, coriander) and give a quick stir.
  • Add the chicken stock, stir, then bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer for about 5-6 minutes. The oatmeal is ready when the oats have soaked up most of the liquid.
  • Transfer to a bowl, mix in cheese, and add sausage and hatch chilis.

Notes

  • Use your favorite salsa. I prefer a red, tomato-based salsa.
  • Hatch chilis can be found in the Hispanic aisle at most traditional grocery stores. They come in small tin cans like chipotles.
  • Any sausage can be used. My local bbq spot makes jalapeño sausage so I use leftovers, but I’ve seen specialty type sausage in most grocery stores
  • Toasting oats is not level flavor. Don’t skip this step.
