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

How To Make amaranth porridge

Step 1

Rinse amaranth in fine mesh strainer or using cheese cloth lined straninger, using warm water

Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 4

Amaranth will last a few days in the fridge, reheat with a little bit of milk
