35 minutes prep time | Serves 6

Ingredients:
1/2 c millet
1/2 c amaranth
Honey, maple syrup, or raw cane sugar
Dried cranberries, dried cherries, or raisins (optional)
Toasted chopped nuts (optional)
Low-fat organic milk or non-dairy substitute

1. Toast millet and amaranth in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring until they crackle and release their aromas, about 5 minutes.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add grains in a steady stream, stirring constantly. Return to a boil.
3. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until grains are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Sweeten to taste and add dried fruits and nuts, if using. Serve hot with milk or non-dairy substitute.
