Schlopp With a Cherry on Top
From Georgeanne Brennan
October 27, 2006

Georgeanne Brennan has written the "Green Eggs and Ham Cookbook," and it's filled with simple, scrumptious, wacky recipes for such foods as Cat in the Hat Pudding and Moose Juice and Schlopp.

Each recipe is accompanied by the original Dr. Suess verse that inspired it, and the pages are laminated to protect against splatters of Sneetch Salad, Oobleck, and Solla Sollew Stew.

Beautiful schlopp is granola, homemade, with honey and orange juice for stickto-itiveness, seeds, nuts, and oats, and three more good grains of whatever sort you want. Top it all with great glops of yogurt, add some sliced banana, and, of course, plop that cherry on top. You'll want schloppy seconds!

Ingredients

Juice of 1 orange

1/4 cup canola, sunflower, or

other light cooking oil

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

1 tablespoon poppy seeds

1 cup pearled barley

1 cup rolled rye

1 cup quinoa

1 cup oat bran

4 cups uncooked oatmeal

(not quick-cooking)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 cup golden raisins

1 ripe banana

4 ounces plain or flavored

Yogurt

1 Maraschino cherry

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the orange juice, oil, honey, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds.

3. Add the barley, rye, quinoa, oat bran, and rolled oats. Mix until all are well coated, using your hands if necessary.

4. Spread on two large, ungreased baking sheets and bake until lightly toasted, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes or so. Stir in the walnuts after about 30 minutes.

5. Remove, let cool to room temperature, and stir in the raisins. (May be stored in airtight containers for up to three weeks.)

6. Cut the banana in half and peel it. Cut each half lengthwise to make 4 long slices. If desired, heat in a frying pan or microwave.

7. Put 1/4 cup of granola in a bowl, top with half the yogurt, and add the banana slices. Add another 1/4 cup of granola and the remaining yogurt and top with the cherry.

Makes about 8 cups of granola and 1 serving of Schlopp
