Ingredients

1 cup amaranth seeds 

1 cup vegetable stock or canned low-sodium vegetable broth 

Pinch of salt 

Preparation

Place a small saucepan over medium-high heat, and add the amaranth. Toast until it begins to pop, 4 to 5 minutes.

While the amaranth is cooking, bring the stock to a boil in a medium saucepan.

Add the amaranth and the salt to the stock. Cover the pan, reduce the heat, and simmer until all the liquid has been absorbed, 7 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside, still covered, to steam for 7 minutes.

Pour the amaranth into a bowl and use as desired.
