Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 2 cups amaranth
  • 4 bananas, sliced
  • 3 cinnamon sticks or 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Instruction

  • In a large saucepan, combine amaranth, bananas, cinnamon sticks, ginger, salt and 4 cups water. 
  • Bring to a boil over high heat and stir. 
  • Lower heat, cover pan and adjust heat so mixture just simmers. 
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until most liquid is absorbed and amaranth is tender with a bite at the center, 25 to 30 minutes. 
  • Remove cinnamon sticks. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with pecans, or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days (sprinkle with pecans after reheating).
