No, not savory . . . but maybe you could do an all-oatmeal dinner for April Fools Day. (Hey, I think I used to have a recipe for an oatmeal fool.)

Not now but during the Winter months, I like to ripple Marmite through Oatmeal. Satisfyingly savoury and very simple.
Please take a quick look at my stuff.

I just ate brunch. A bowl of steel cut oats, cooked in a garlic and mushroom broth. With a touch of soy sauce, delicious!

I love oats, especially steel cut. However, I have a problem. My oat are too slimy and it has begun to bother me.

The method I use to cook is 1 part oats to 4 parts water and finished with a bit of milk. I use a slow cooker for about 3 hours.

Is there a cooking method that minimizes the slime that comes with cooking steel cut oatmeal?

Try not cooking for very long. I toast my steel cut oats in the dry pot first to bring out a nutty roasted flavor then add the water. I often cook oats for no more than 30 minutes. Water adjusted to 2:1 for the short cooking. Cook like rice, covered and simmer. They still have some chew but are not hard.
