Amaranth porridge: the secret to longevity in your plate

Prepare amaranth as if you are discovering a treasure. Thoroughly rinse the amaranth seeds under running water until the water becomes crystal clear. After all, purity is the key to the impeccable taste of the future porridge.

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the rinsed amaranth seeds with clean drinking water. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor and stir gently. Bring to a boil over high heat, watching this magical transformation.

Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot tightly with a lid, let the amaranth seeds simmer for 5 minutes. Watch them swell, turning into a thick, appetizing mass.

Pour hot milk into a saucepan with amaranth, gently stir to combine all ingredients into a harmonious whole. Bring to a boil again, then reduce heat to low. Cook the porridge under the lid for 25–30 minutes, allowing it to reveal its rich flavor.

While cooking, remember to stir the amaranth porridge periodically so that it doesn't burn. At the end, add butter, like the final touch of an artist, and gently stir.

Serve amaranth porridge hot, garnished with jam, fresh berries or fruits. Add a little sugar or honey to taste to create the perfect combination of flavors and aromas.
