Amaranth Tabouli

Tabouli, is a mid-eastern salad normally made with bulgur wheat. 

Amaranth makes for a great substitute for a subtly new taste!

You will need:
 
1 cup amaranth
1 cup parsley, chopped
1/2 cup scallions, chopped
2 tbsp fresh mint
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, pressed

1. Heat the amaranth in a skillet over low heat, stirring constantly, until the grains begin to "pop" (1-2 minutes).

2. Transfer the amaranth to a small pot and add the water.

3. Bring this to a boil, cover it, and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until most (or all) of the water is absorbed.

4. Remove from heat. Let it rest for 5 minutes, covered.

5. Let it cool amaranth, then combine with the rest of the ingredients. Stir well to combine, taste for seasonings, and serve.

Or

Serve it warm on chilly nights!
