Tomato oat porridge is a gluten-free, nutritious, energetic, and very tasty dish. With the addition of cottage cheese, it becomes a unique pizza-flavored dish, light for those who want to stay fit.
It can be prepared in a saucepan on the stove or more easily in the electric rice cooker (which I love). Optional ingredients like nutritional yeast flakes instead of grated Parmesan can be added, and you can use lactose-free cottage cheese for those who are intolerant. The quantities are for one serving, feel free to double them if you want to make more.
