Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons uncooked amaranth
  • 2 boxes (9 ounces each) frozen corn
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

Steps

  • 1
    Heat heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Heat 1 tablespoon of the amaranth in skillet 30 to 45 seconds, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until most of the seeds pop. Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon amaranth.
  • 2
    Cook and drain corn as directed on package. Stir in butter and dill weed; sprinkle with amaranth.

  • Amaranth is a grain that is very high in protein. It has a slightly sweet flavor, and when popped, it can be used in salads and vegetables. Popping it, as done in this recipe, is really very easy to do. Look for amaranth among the other whole grains in the natural-foods section of your grocery store or co-op.
