Author’s note: This ancient Aztec grain, redily available in healt-food stores, is a better so urce of protein and calcium than most other cereal grains. It has the irresist able aroma of fresh corn. The size and texture of uncooked amaranth is akin to cruncy poppy seeds, but it releases a starch while cooking, creating a sliky s auce. Amaranth makes a superb breakfast cereal or vegetable side dish somewhat like grits. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Plain Text Version of This Recipe for Printing or Saving | |
