How to Make Three Pepper Oat Pilaf

  1. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together rolled oats and egg whites until oats are evenly coated.
  3. Add the oat mixture to the skillet with the vegetables.
  4. Cook, stirring frequently, until oats are lightly toasted and dry, about 5-6 minutes.
  5. Pour in vegetable broth, stir in basil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the pilaf is creamy.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 minute before serving. Garnish with extra basil if desired.
