Notes
To make the amaranth: In medium saucepan, over medium heat, toast 1/2 cup amaranth, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes or until fragrant. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 2.5 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 35 minutes or until very smooth and creamy and most of the liquid is absorbed. Cool. This will yield about 2 cups; use half (1 cup) for the fritters recipe.
