Skirley Irish Fried Oatmeal
2 servings
30 minutes
'Skirlie' is a traditional Irish dish where oatmeal takes on a new flavor dimension. Known since ancient times, it perfectly reflects the rural roots of Irish cuisine. Tender chicken mince sautéed with onions in butter combines with crushed oatmeal to create a cozy, slightly crumbly texture. The addition of spices gives depth to the dish, while the finishing touch—poached eggs—makes it truly exquisite. 'Skirlie' is great as a hearty breakfast or a cozy dinner. If the consistency seems too thick, a bit of broth will add tenderness to it. This dish, filled with warmth and care, is perfect for cold evenings or family meals.
