- Amaranth is an ancient grain that, while sometimes dismissed today as a garden weed or ornamental plant, has been eaten for thousands of years. And for good reason — amaranth porridge is delicious, wonderfully tender, filling, and nutritious. The grain is making a quiet comeback, and you can easily find both the seeds and the flour at health food stores or order them online. For porridge, you want the whole seeds. Amaranth is high in protein and iron and rich in other minerals, and it's great for digestion and overall well-being. So let's get cooking — it's very simple. Put the amaranth in a large pot, cover with fresh water, add the salt, and stir. Set the pot over high heat and bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a minimum. Cover and cook the amaranth for 20 minutes, until it turns tender. Now pour in the soy milk and add the honey and vanilla extract. Stir and cook everything together for 8 minutes. Keep stirring — don't stop, or the porridge will scorch. Cook for about another 10 minutes (it may need a touch less); the porridge should become quite thick. Turn off the heat, take the pot off the stove, and let it rest, covered, for half an hour. Then divide the porridge among bowls, top with coconut flakes, garnish with the berries, and serve. You can also skip the resting time and serve it hot right away — it'll be just as tasty, filling, and healthy. To your good health!
