Ingredients
Instructions
- In a non-stick pan, sauté the chopped onion until softened and translucent.
- Add the finely chopped mushrooms to the pan and sauté for 2 minutes, or until they release their moisture and begin to brown slightly.
- Add the rolled oats and skim milk to the pan. Stir continuously. This helps the oats absorb the liquid evenly and prevents sticking.
- Cook the mixture until it thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. This indicates that the oats are cooked and the mixture is ready to be shaped.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the salt, pepper, chopped coriander, and green chilies. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly before shaping it into small tots. This prevents the tots from falling apart during baking.
- Preheat your oven. Arrange the tots on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the hot Oatmeal Mushroom Tots with your favorite dipping sauce. A coriander-pepper dip or a side of black olives complements the savory flavors beautifully.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra crispiness, roll the shaped tots in a light layer of finely ground oats before baking or pan-frying—they’ll develop a golden, crunchy exterior without the need for extra oil.
- If you prefer a dairy-free or vegan version, swap skimmed milk for unsweetened almond or oat milk, and add 1-2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast for a cheesy, umami boost.
- Finely chopping or even pulsing the mushrooms in a food processor helps them blend seamlessly with the oats, resulting in a smoother texture and preventing the tots from falling apart.
- Serve the tots with a tangy yogurt-coriander dip or a spicy tomato chutney to complement their earthy flavors and add a refreshing contrast.
Expert Tips
- Don't overmix the tot mixture. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the oats, leading to tough tots.
- For even cooking, ensure your tots are roughly the same size and thickness.
- If baking, flip the tots halfway through to ensure they brown evenly on both sides.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover tots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or on a skillet over medium heat until warmed through and crispy.
