Fried Oatmeal with Oranges


The randomly-generated list of ingredients is:
oats
orange
gin

Dessert time!

Although all the flavors were great, the textures were a bit off. However, this is entirely due to my putting only two minutes between recipe generation and execution. The orange slices should have been added at the very end just to heat them through, rather than turning them into a pulpy mess.

Forethought, forethought, forethought.


Ingredients

oats, uncooked
sugar

green cardamom
oranges, sliced
1.5 oz gin, per serving
cornstarch, slurried
honey


Method

Make oatmeal. Add sugar, depending on how sweet you like dessert. Let the oatmeal cool and congeal.

Infuse a few cardamom pods in some oil. Fish out the cardamom and fry the oatmeal cake until caramelized on both sides. Remove from pan.

Caramelize the oranges. Add one shot of gin, flame it, and repeat until all the gin is used. Add cornstarch, and stir until thickened.

Pour oranges over the fried oatmeal cake and drizzle everything with liberal amounts of honey.
