PRO TIPS

3 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent the oats from sticking to the base as they thicken.
2
Finely dice the carrots and onions to ensure they cook through at the same rate as the oats.
3
Adjust the water consistency at the end if you prefer a porridge-like texture versus a thicker mash.
