Sweet Amaranth for breakfast

Are you fed up with boring porridge for breakfast? I would like to share my quite simple, a little time consuming, yet delicious recipe for Amaranth "Porridge". It is a very healthy plant full of vitamins such as B, C, E and what is very important on vegetarian diet it is high in proteins. It will easily fill you up and give you a lot of energy to start up the day.

Personally, I prefer it as a sweet breakfast but amaranth can also be cooked salty and used as an addition to meals. The topping is more or less optional, however, I like to add kiwi since the maple syrup is pretty sweet and the kiwi adds a little sourness.

Ingredients

50g amaranth

20ml water

20ml milk

1 bannana

1 tbsp maple syrup

topping:

1 kiwi

1 tsp cacao powder

1 tsp flax seeds

goji berries

Procedure

1. Boil some water in the kettle and pour it over the amaranth. Leave it for 5 minutes, this will remove the intense smell and wash off all the impurities.

2. In a pot bring water and milk to boil and place the amaranth into the pot using a spoon (drain the water from the kettle).

3. Leave it on medium heat for another 20 minutes.

4. Add maple syrup and finely chopped banana . Cook for another 5-6 minutes.

5. Put the cooked amaranth into a bowl and top with fruits and seeds. Sprinkle with cacao powder and done!
