Quicker Baked Potato

Try this method for speeding up the potato baking process (for a better texture than those that you microwave). Pre-heat the oven to 400. Place the potato in boiling water for 10 minutes. Bake for 30 minutes. This will cut the cooking time in half.

 

Amaranth Stir Fry


vegetarian

1 cup amaranth; uncooked
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup leeks; sliced
1/2 cup mushrooms; sliced
1/2 cup green peppers; sliced
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
1/2 cup scallions; sliced
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds; toasted

Rinse and drain amaranth. Dry roast amaranth in a hevy skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes. Bring 3 cups water and salt to a boil. Stir in amaranth and return to a boil. Lower heat and place a flame deflector or heat diffuser under the pot. Cover and simmer for 35 minutes or until all water is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Heat a skillet and brush generously with oil. Add leeks and saute for 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and peppers and saute for 10 minutes, stirring often. Sprinkle with soy sauce and one teaspoon water. Sprinkle bread crumbs over top of vegetables. Place amaranth on top of crumbs. Cover and heat through. Stir to combine all ingredients, place in a serving dish and garnish with scallions and pumpkin seeds.
