Directions
- In a small saucepan, bring water and salt to a boil over high heat.
- Add oats, honey, and cardamom; cover and simmer on low for 3–5 minutes, until the oats reach your desired thickness.
- While the oats cook, wash and peel the orange, separate into segments, and chop the flesh roughly.
- Coarsely chop the dates.
- When the oats are done, stir in tahini to combine, then remove from heat.
- 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.
