This is a very simple whole grain cooking technique that you can whip up quickly and enjoy on a cold winter night! Amaranth and millet are both yummy whole grains you can find in a natural foods market.
Serves 4 to 6
1 cup millet
1/2 cup amaranth
3 1/2 to 4 cups water
1 teaspoon sea salt
Rinse the millet, then add it along with the amaranth, water, and sea salt to a medium cooking pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer, covered, for 15 to 25 minutes or until the grains have absorbed all the water. Fluff with a fork and serve warm.
