Amaranth is an amazingly easy-to-grow and very nutritious grain (more on growing amaranth here). For now, here’s my recipe:
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
garlic cloves, pressed
1/4 cup olives, sliced
lettuce or lamb’s quarters leaves, whole
Simmer amaranth in an equal volume of water for 12-15 minutes. Allow to cool.
Place all ingredients except lettuce and olives in a mixing bowl and toss together lightly. Chill for an hour or more to allow flavors to blend.
Wash and dry lettuce leaves and use them to line a salad bowl. Add tabouli and garnish with olives.
