What can I make with fine oatmeal?I have just been given a kilo of fine oatmeal which is just out of sell-by date, (so I need to use it quickly)Question: what can I make with it? - preferably savoury, but sweet stuff's ok as well. |

Pin head stuff? I use it in stuffings, and haggis. Chunkier is probably better, but it works. However, it's a dried good. Ignore the sell by date til it actually flinches from the light. | ||||

honey and oatmeal soap? | ||||

No, this is fine (there's fine, medium & pin-head) so this is about the texture of wholemeal. |

Yum. I made a batch of plain lard soap yesterday. Now I can't wait for it to cure so I can re-batch with some oatmeal! |

You can make a nice crunchy coating for fish out of it (a bit like breadcrumbs) | ||||

Rebatch? Do you mean melt it down again? |

and mix it up with other stuff, yep. Often stuff that wouldn't take the initial boiling/tracing process very well. | ||||

Last night I made "Pumpkin Toulouse Lautrec" with it (can't remember where the recipe came from) - apparently its calle dthat because of the colour combination of deep orange pumpkin and startling red tomato.
Basically, make a red sauce. Meanwhile, cut pumpkin into small slabs, roll in seasoned flour (I used the fine oatmeal (which btw is much finer than pinhead - pinhead is the coarsest of the oatmeals)) fry until golden, layer with the sauce & bake until done. Last night I dipped the pumpkin slices in egg before rolling them in the seasoned oatmeal - mainly to get some protein into the dish. So that's about half of one of the two packs used, next I want to make some oatcakes (*will have to wait for a time when we are at home for more than 5 minutes together), and possibly some hand-scrub. Parkin sounds nice (* see above). |
