Ingredients

  • 1 cup amaranth
  • 1/2 cups water
  • 3-4 tomatoes, cored and chopped
  • 2 cups chopped/minced parsley (get it as fine as you have the desire/patience for)
  • 2 cups chopped/minced fresh mint (same as above)
  • 4 scallions, chopped
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to taste
  • generous pinch of ground cinnamon, plus more to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat amaranth in a skillet over low heat, stirring constantly, until the grains start to pop and the amaranth is fragrant (1-2 minutes). Transfer to a small pot and add the water. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until most, if not all, of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes, covered.
  2. Cool the cooked amaranth, then combine with the rest of the ingredients. Stir well to combine, taste for seasonings, and serve.
