Step-by-Step Preparation
- Bring 850 ml (about 3 1/2 cups) water to a boil in a separate kettle and hold it hot, covered, so Weeknight Pumpkin Mung Oat Pot never loses its simmer.
- Cook the mung and pumpkin until nearly tender. Maintain medium-low heat for 12–14 minutes, stirring every 4 minutes, until a thin knife slides through the largest piece without resistance.
- Fold in oats and fennel and keep the pot moving. Keep the pan over gentle medium heat for 1–2 minutes after the final addition, folding from the bottom so the main pieces remain intact.
- Season the creamy dinner and add ghee off heat. Leave the pan off the flame for 6 minutes, then taste and correct the final balance before serving at the stated temperature.
- Rest Weeknight Pumpkin Mung Oat Pot 6 minutes covered off the burner; check the final consistency and serve it warm without prolonged holding.
