Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil over high heat.
  2. Add oats, honey, and cardamom; cover and simmer on low for 3–5 minutes, until the oats reach your desired thickness.
  3. While the oats cook, wash and peel the orange, separate into segments, and chop the flesh roughly.
  4. Coarsely chop the dates.
  5. When the oats are done, stir in tahini to combine, then remove from heat.
  6. Divide the oatmeal into bowls and top with orange segments, chopped dates, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with honey and serve.

Two tips

  • Prepare the orange segments a day ahead and store them in the fridge for quick assembly.
  • For a creamier texture, whisk in a bit more tahini into the warm oats before serving, or sprinkle on extra sesame seeds if you have them.
