Amaranth Porridge

Ingredients

• 100 g amaranth

• 200 ml of water

• 150 ml plant based milk

• A pinch of sea salt

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or pasta

• 1 tablespoon pure honey

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon coconut grated (optional)

• Topping ideas:

• 3 strawberries cut into strips

Method

1. Place the amaranth in a sauce pan with the water, coconut milk, vanilla and honey.

2. Give it a stir and add a pinch of salt.

3. Pop the lid on and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to let it simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Check that the bottom isn’t sticking and add more milk if needed.

5. Give the mix a stir and cook for a further 5 minutes.

6. Take it off the heat and let it sit with the lid on for a few minutes.

*Soaking amaranth overnight helps remove the phytic acid, making them more digestible.
