Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup amaranth

3 cups water

3 tablespoons maple syrup -- (3 to 4)

2 tablespoons wheat germ

 

This delicious hot breakfast (or late-night snack) is reminiscent of

oatmeal. Amaranth has a nutty flavor and creamy texture.

 

Yield: 3 to 4 servings

 

In a medium saucepan, combine the amaranth with water and bring to a

simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 20

to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grains become thick and

soft.

 

Spoon the amaranth into bowls and swirl in 1 tablespoonful maple syrup

into each bowl. Sprinkle the wheat germ over the top and serve at once.

 

Helpful Tip:

For additional nutrients and flavor, add diced fruit (such as apples,

pears, and peaches) to the simmering amaranth.
