oatmeal #3

I was low on food, and this is what I came up with.  I would have had a salad but didn't have enough fixings.  

Ingredients:  
1/4 cup steel-cut oats or 1/2 cup rolled oats
2 prunes, chopped
1 Tbsp goji berries
a few cups chopped spinach or arugula
part of a leek or onion

Start cooking the oats in 1 cup water.  I like to cook it for about an hour if I'm using steel cut oats.  Or bring them to a boil and then turn off the stove for an hour and then come back and cook for 20 minutes.   Add the onion early on, then the prunes and goji berries, then the spinach.   This was interesting, not bad, different from what I'm used to.  I think I'd have to try it again.  I used arugula since I didn't have spinach.  I think I'd prefer spinach.
