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.
