📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine 2 cups amaranth and 4 cups water in a large (3–4-qt.) heavy saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil, whisking occasionally. Using a heatproof rubber spatula, push any seeds clinging to sides of pot into liquid, then reduce heat to low, re-cover, and simmer until liquid is absorbed, 20–⏱️ 25 minutes. Stir in ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt.
