VEGAN AMARANTH WITH SPINACH-TOMATO-MUSHROOM SAUCE
I have no idea where I picked up this recipe, but it's the only one I use for cooking amaranth for other people. My family, who is very much NOT vegetarian, even enjoys this dish! Feel free to tweak ingredients and let me know how it tastes! This recipe is also great for cleaning out the refrigerator.

- While amaranth is cooking, stem and wash spinach leaves. Boil until tender (approx. 15-20 minutes). Dip tomatoes in boiling water to loosen skin, core, peel. Chop tomatoes coarsely.

Steps:
- Boil the water and add amaranth, bring back to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
- Wash spinach, then simmer until tender.
- Blanch tomatoes to remove skin if desired then peel and chop [I leave the skin on]
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add garlic and onion with a bit of broth [or oil]. Saute about 2 minutes then add tomato, mushrooms, basil, oregano, salt [Or Dash], pepper and 1 tablespoon of water.
- Drain and chop spinch and add to tomato mixture cooking for 10 to 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Stir so that you mush the tomato up a bit if desired [I sometimes leave it a bit chunky].
- Stir the sauce into the amaranth or spoon it on top.
- Notes: I use Mrs Dash Tomato and Garlic blend the most. Amaranth leaves can be used in place of spinach if you can find them.

Tips:
- Soak amaranth: Soaking amaranth overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking will help reduce the cooking time and make it more digestible.
- Rinse amaranth thoroughly: Rinse amaranth well under running water before cooking to remove any impurities.
- Use a fine-mesh strainer: When draining the cooked amaranth, use a fine-mesh strainer to ensure that all the water is removed.
- Cook amaranth in plenty of water: Amaranth expands quite a bit when cooked, so be sure to use plenty of water (about 3 cups of water for 1 cup of amaranth).
- Don't overcook amaranth: Amaranth cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked amaranth will become mushy and lose its texture.
- Add vegetables and sauce: Once the amaranth is cooked, add your desired vegetables and sauce. You can use any type of vegetables you like, such as spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers. You can also use a variety of sauces, such as a tomato sauce, a mushroom sauce, or a cheese sauce.
- Serve immediately: Amaranth is best served immediately after cooking. It can be served as a main course or as a side dish.
Conclusion:
Amaranth is a versatile and nutritious grain that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. This recipe for Vegan Amaranth with Spinach, Tomato, and Mushroom Sauce is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy amaranth.
