Middle Eastern Date and Nut Oatmeal

Combine rolled oats, water (or milk), chopped dates, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the oats are creamy and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for 2 minutes to thicken further.

Divide the oatmeal into two serving bowls and top each with chopped pistachios and walnuts before serving.
