Oatmeal is a typical Irish breakfast food, but here it’s given a savory spin by combining the cooked oats with sauteed ham, garlic, kale and spinach. It’s a combo that can stand in for rice, quinoa or couscous as a grain-based side. The name of the dish is a takeoff on the Dr. Seuss classic, Green Eggs and Ham.
