INGREDIENTS:

35g Whole Rolled Oats
50g Chopped Spinach
50g Chesnut Mushrooms
1/4 onion, finely diced
1 clove garlic
1/2 Vegetable Stock Cube, dissolved in 70ml of water

METHOD OF COOKING:

1. Using Lo-Cal Spray, sauté the onions and garlic, adding a pinch of salt and keeping a medium heat.
2. Add the mushrooms to a pan and continue to stir till mushrooms cook through.
3. Add the Oats and mix till combined. Pour in the prepared vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 5 mins. If needed add more water to desired consistency.
4. Remove from heat and add in the chopped spinach. Mix well and cover to let wilt.
5. In a separate grill pan, grill the halloumi slices on both sides.
6. Serve the oats in a wide bowl, place the halloumi on top and garnish with chopped parsley.

Are there any general substitutions that can be made? (vegetarian or meat options, depending):
– Add chillies to give the dish a bit more depth
– Substitute the halloumi for any protein of your choice. Marinated, grilled tofu goes well too.
– You can use frozen chopped spinach also; add this at step 3.
