Step 1

Place the oats in a medium bowl. Fill bowl with water, enough to cover oats by 1 inch (2.5 cm). Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain the oats.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a medium-large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the onion; cook and stir for 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5

Add the drained oats, herbs, water and salt to the skillet. Cook and stir for 5 to 6 minutes until the water is absorbed and the oats are tender. Serve.
