Amaranth Porridge image

Many years ago, after I decided to stop eating meat (I am not a strict vegetarian now, though that's the way I usually eat), I walked down the street to look over whole grains at my local health food store in Austin, Tex. There wasn't much of a selection; still, it was all new to me, and I bought some of the grains sold in bulk bins: brown rice, millet, kasha and wheat berries.

Time 40m

Yield Serves two

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup amaranth
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup milk, almond milk or rice milk (more to taste)
2 teaspoons maple syrup or brown sugar or, if available, Mexican piloncillo
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Combine the amaranth and water in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Stir every once in a while, as the amaranth may stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in the milk, syrup or brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir vigorously until the porridge is creamy. Remove from the heat and serve.

This porridge is a great way to experiment with different flavors. You can add any toppings you want to customize it to your liking. I like to add nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. You could also add a dollop of yogurt or a drizzle of honey.

This porridge is a great way to use up leftover amaranth. If you have any leftover amaranth from another recipe, you can use it to make this porridge. It's a great way to avoid food waste and get a healthy breakfast at the same time.

This porridge is a great make-ahead breakfast. You can make it the night before and reheat it in the morning. It's also a great option for meal prepping. You can make a big batch on the weekend and then have it for breakfast all week long.

This porridge is a great way to warm up on a cold winter morning. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I like to add a handful of spinach or kale to the porridge, and they don't even notice it.

I'm a big fan of amaranth, and this porridge is a great way to showcase its unique flavor. The porridge is creamy and smooth, with a slightly nutty taste. I topped it with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey, and it was the perfect breakfast.
