Follow the recipe above for Groats Oatmeal, but replace the water with stock and beer (if using). Set cooked groats aside.

Saute the fennel stalk, leek, onions and shallot in the oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Add garlic, carrot and celery, stirring occasionally, and sauté for another 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and butter. Once the butter is melted, pour red wine over the mixture. Cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate the browned bits. Season with fennel fronds, salt and pepper.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine vegetables and groats, and spread in a baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and bake another 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with  a sprinkle of cheese and green onion. Serves 6 as a side dish.

Banana Oat Pancakes

2 large or 3 small bananas, mashed
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp raw sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup oat flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon, ground
1/2 tsp nutmeg, ground
1 banana, sliced

Stir together bananas, butter, lemon juice and sugar. Beat in the eggs. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Stir together the wet and dry ingredients. Let batter rest for at least 10 minutes before use. (You can refrigerate the batter overnight, but you may need to add about 1/2 cup milk to thin it out.)
