Mediterranean Oat Groat Salad (via Shropshire)

The groat is the whole kernel of the oat (with the husk removed) and is absolutely perfect in a salad or risotto instead of rice. It’s nutrient-rich and adds a gorgeous nutty flavour and slightly chewy texture.
Available in our stitched 100% paper 850g or 5kg bags.

Ingredients:
250g Pimhill Organic Groats
1 litre Veg stock
1 cucumber, diced
200g cherry tomatoes, quartered
20g fresh mint, chopped
20g fresh parsley, chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
40g olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
2 garlic cloves, grated
2g ground cumin
Salt and pepper

Boil the groats in a pan of the stock for 40 mins, drain and rinse through with cold water. Tip into a mixing bowl and add all the ingredients and mix. It’s worth leaving it for an hour to let the flavours develop.
