Step 1

Drop the pinch of salt into the boiling water. Stir the oats in, little by little. Too much at a time and you’ll get doughy lumps. When all the oats are absorbed and the mass starts to boil, lower the heat so that it’s just simmering. Cover the pot and continue cooking on lowest heat.

Step 2

Stir once in a while to keep the oatmeal from sticking to the bottom. Keep cooking for 20 minutes.

Step 3

When it’s all cooked through and mushy, add the milk, sugar or sweetener to taste, and cinnamon. Cook, always stirring and always on low heat, until all is absorbed again. This should take another 10 minutes.

Step 4

The oatmeal should be creamy and heavy in the spoon. Then it’s ready.

Step 5

Ladle into bowls and top with the dried fruit and chopped nuts. Drizzle a little honey over it all if you like.

Step 6

Now dip your spoon in and savor your oatmeal. How gratifying.
