Amaranth & Coconut Pumpkin Porridge

Recipe

½ cup Amaranth (soaked overnight)

165 ml Coconut Cream or Coconut Milk or Almond Milk

1 cup Pumpkin Puree

1 teaspoon All Spice

1 teaspoon Vanilla Powder

½ teaspoon Cardamom Powder

1 teaspoon Homemade Coconut Butter

1 teaspoon Rice Syrup

½ teaspoon Lemon Zest

½ Orange Zest

1 tablespoon Chia Seeds

Pinch of Pink Rock Salt

Method

Soak amaranth overnight.

Pumpkin Puree: In a large bowl add pumpkin chunks and olive oil (1-2 tablespoons), ensure that pumpkin is moist. Pop the pumpkin chunks on a flat baking tray and roast at 180 for 40 minutes, they should be soft in the middle. Mash the chunks, viola you have pumpkin puree.

Next drain and rinse amaranth using a sieve. In a saucepan add amaranth, pumpkin puree, coconut cream, spices, coconut butter, rice syrup, zest, chia seeds and salt.

On a medium heat cook for 15 minutes, stirring continuously; to ensure porridge does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan. When the amaranth seed becomes clear it is ready for consumption.

Allow to cool and consume.

Toppings

I topped my porridge with:

• Greek Yogurt
• Toasted Coconut Flakes
• Raw Cacao Nibs
