Like everybody else here, I'm adding new, different things in my diet, therefore I'm interested to learn some recipes that include amaranth seeds and the cooking methods.
Thanks.

Hi Natalia,
I really like mixing amaranth with other grains, especially for a breakfast porridge. Some of my favorite blends are millet, quinoa and amaranth or buckwheat, quinoa and amaranth. this is my basic porridge recipe:
Rinse (esp. quinoa) and soak grains overnight (beside the digestional benefits of soaking, it also reduces cooking time).
In the morning, add a little more water to grains if needed (water should just cover grains). Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and skim off any scud that arises. Add a pinch of salt, a couple chopped dried dates, and any other dried fruit (i like raisins and cranberries).
Once the grains are tender, remove from heat. Stir in butter or creamed coconut, and I like to add any or all of the following:
shredded coconut
maple syrup/honey
fresh fruit
ground flax seeds
spirulina
sprouted sunflower seeds
Enjoy!

A great book that focuses on incorporating more grains, including amaranth, is "Super Natural Cooking" by Heidi Swanson. I love this book. The recipes are really user friendly. Even if you don't plan to make any of the recipes, this is a really good resource to have.
I just stumbled upon some amaranth greens at my local farmers' market. I have not tried them out yet, but plan to experiment tomorrow.
