Steel Cut Risotto w/String Beans and Tomatoes

I found most of this recipe from a chef named Sean Brock who owns two restaurants in Charleston SC, Husk and Mc Crady's. Instead of using the usual Arborio Rice for risotto, he uses steel cut oats.  What I love about this recipe is how much better I feel the next day, rice like pasta makes me feel heavy and takes a while to work through my system but the oats ... well they just keep on moving!
