2. If you're using parboiled groats, leave them in water for a couple of hours. Oats can be cooked in two ways: boiled or simmered in a casserole dish in the oven. Choose whichever method you prefer. I decided to use this particular groat for the stew.

Step 3
3. I usually put oats into a pot, pour water over them, and place it in the oven, but you can also cook the porridge in a regular saucepan on the stovetop. It takes no more than half an hour to cook (if previously soaked).

4. This is how beautiful it looks when ready. While the porridge is cooling (it's better to transfer it immediately to a deep dish for kutia), prepare the raisins, dried apricots, or prunes.
