Amaranth Porridge image

Amaranth is a native Mexican grain and a great alternative to oatmeal. I like the little "pop" it adds to my breakfast bowl

Time 5h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 c amaranth
1 1/2 c water
1/4 c milk, almond milk or rice milk (more to taste
2 tsp maple syrup or brown sugar or, if available, mexican piloncillo
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse amaranth in fine mesh strainer or using cheese cloth lined straninger, using warm water
  • 2. 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 few minutes, as the amaranth may stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • 3. 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.
  • 4. Amaranth will last a few days in the fridge, reheat with a little bit of milk
