Drescription

Oats get a new life in this savory dish, serving as the backbone for a satisfying combo of sausage, greens, tomatoes and herbs.

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons sunflower or neutral oil, such as canola or avocado, divided
  • 1 ½ ounces fully cooked sweet italian chicken sausage (1/2 link)
  • 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • ⅓ cup packed fresh herbs, such as parsley and/or cilantro
  • ½ cup packed baby arugula
  • 1 tablespoon pine nuts, toasted (see tip)
  • 1 large lemon wedge

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tsp. oil in a small nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until evenly browned, about 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir in oats and salt; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  3. Thinly slice the sausage into coins. Stir the sausage, tomatoes, and herbs into the cooked oatmeal. Transfer to a bowl. Top with arugula and pine nuts; drizzle with the remaining 1 tsp. oil. Serve with lemon wedge, if desired.
