Turmeric Ginger Oatmeal

Recipe by Rhianna

INGREDIENTS

2 cups water

1 cup gluten-free rolled oats

½ cup raisins, dried figs or chopped pitted dates

1 inch fresh ginger root, grated (or ½ tsp ground ginger)

1 inch fresh turmeric root, grated (or ½ tsp turmeric powder)

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp ghee or 1 tsp of coconut oil

pink salt

coconut flakes

PROCESS

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the grated ginger and turmeric root to steep like a tea for 2-3 minutes before adding in the oats. The water will turn a golden color, once it does stir in the oats and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until liquid is almost fully absorbed. Add the raisins in at the end and remove from heat. Stir in the remaining spices. Transfer to a bowl, top with a spoonful of ghee or coconut oil, a sprinkling of pink salt and a handful of coconut flakes.

Note: If you’re using ground spices, skip the first step of steeping the roots and add the ground spices in at the end instead.
