Traditional Amaranth Porridge Recipe
Classical recipe for amaranth porridge best enjoyed for breakfast hot in a bowl with your choice of healthy fat, whole sweetener and nuts or fruit topping.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole grain amaranth preferably organic
- 3 cups filtered water
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Instructions
-
Place amaranth seeds in a small pot and mix in half (1.5 cups) the filtered water and 1/2 tsp sea salt. Cover and leave on the counter for a minimum of 5 hours or overnight.
-
Drain off the soaking water and rinse the seeds well.
-
Place the seeds back into a clean small pot and pour in the remaining 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil uncovered, stir well, cover and reduce heat to a simmer for 10 minutes.
-
Remove from heat, uncover and stir amaranth porridge to enhance smoothness.
-
Serve in bowls with your favorite healthy fat, whole sweetener and other toppings. I enjoy a half tablespoon of butter, whole grassfed raw milk, and a drizzle of date syrup.
