Quaker® Quick 3-minute Steel Cut Oats have the texture and nuttiness we all love about steel cut oats but cook faster! You’ll still need about 10-15 minutes to cook this steel cut oats risotto since you are slowly adding the liquid, just as you would if you were using arborio rice which is commonly used in risotto.

If you love risotto you will absolutely love this steel cut oats risotto. It’s total comfort food but with all goodness from steel cut oats. A warm bowl of this risotto is perfect on a crisp fall day paired with a roasted chicken or enjoy all by itself, your choice!

To add even more love and goodness to this risotto I like to drizzle it with a balsamic reduction for a little sweetness, chopped walnuts for a little crunch, crispy sage leaves because fried sage is beyond amazing and shredded asiago because I can never have too much cheese. Although, all this is completely optional if you add…but you’re all in for one tasty bowl of risotto!
