Vegan Amaranth With Spinach-Tomato-Mushroom Sauce image

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.

2 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bunch spinach

Overall, this was a good recipe. The amaranth was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. However, I found the dish to be a bit too oily.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found the amaranth to be a bit too chewy.
