Instructions
- Into a heavy bottom stock pot, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil or oil of choice. Preheat on medium heat until oil is glistening.
- Add the meat into the stockpot and brown on medium heat.
- Add oat groats in with the browned meat and stir fry for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
- Add the 6 cups of water and deglaze the pot.
- Add in the salt and spices. Stir and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium low and cover. Continue to monitor the stew about every 5 minutes as it cooks.
- You will need to stir it every 5 to 10 minutes to make sure there is nothing stuck to the bottom.
- As the stew thickens, continue to add a little water at a time to achieve the desired consistency. Cook for 1 and a half to 2 hours, or longer if desired. Make sure to keep adding water to the stew as it cooks to prevent it from burning and to end up with a creamy texture. Adjust seasoning as you go.
