Amaranth porridge

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook amaranth porridge? Prepare all ingredients. Amaranth seeds can be purchased at large supermarkets and health food stores. Typically, amaranth grains are not completely yellow; some seeds are black. Black seeds are seeds directly with the shell, and yellow ones are peeled seeds.

2. STEP 2

   

   Amaranth seeds are very small, so pour them into a fine sieve and rinse under running water. This procedure allows you to wash out fine sand or other debris from the cereal. Leave the amaranth in the sieve to drain excess water. Washing the seeds in another way, for example, like rice, will be problematic, since amaranth seeds float on the surface of the water. Then it is better to use gauze when draining the water from the bowl.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour milk and water in a 1:1 ratio into a saucepan or small saucepan and bring the contents of the pan to a boil over high heat. When the milk-water mixture boils, add a pinch of salt and stir. The article on saucepans, link at the end of the recipe, will help you choose the ideal pan for porridge.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add the washed amaranth seeds in a thin stream, stirring constantly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Reduce heat, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the porridge over low heat until thickened, about 25-30 minutes. Do not open the lid for the first 10 minutes, and then stir the porridge occasionally so that the porridge does not burn.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the finished amaranth porridge on a plate; if desired, you can add a small piece of butter. According to your taste, add a sweet filling to the porridge, which can be jam, jam, nuts, berries or fruits. Bon appetit!
