Amaranth Porridge with Peach, Passion and Pomegranate – Little Big H
Amaranth porridge with peach, passion and pomegranate is a new favourite breakfast. It’s nutritious, has a lovely nutty taste, it’s a good protein source and it’s naturally gluten-free – a perfect way to start the day.
Amaranth take 25 minutes to cook on the stove, so for busy morning soak the raw amaranth in water the night before to reduce the cooking time or cook it completely and reheat in the morning.
Top with fresh seasonal fruit. I have used peach, passionfruit, pomegranate, coconut, bee pollen and chia seeds.
