If you haven't tried savory oatmeal before, you should give it a go! It's really good - oatmeal works just as well with vegetables as it does with fruit or sweet things.

Ingredients

1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 cup eggplant, cubed
1 cup carrots, chopped
1/4 cup bell pepper, chopped
pinch sea salt
1/3 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup peas, fresh or frozen
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Start the onion and eggplant cooking in a pan on medium heat with a bit of olive oil, water or white wine while you chop the carrot and red pepper.
Once the eggplant has softened, add the carrot and red pepper for a couple of minutes.
Then add the oats and some water (about 1/4 cup), stir and leave to let the oats soften for a couple of minutes.
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, then turn off the heat and serve.
This is great topped with toasted sunflower seeds or chopped almonds or fresh sprouts, or served on a bed of massaged kale.
