Directions

1

Add amaranth, broth, water, 1/2 garlic, and olive oil to the Cooking Pot. Stir until amaranth is submerged.

2

Add 2 eggs to the Steaming Basket and set in place over the amaranth mixture.

3

Cook on QUINOA setting, close the lid, and set a timer for 10 minutes.

4

When your timer goes off, open the EveryGrain™ Cooker, remove the eggs from the Steaming Basket, and immediately submerge them in cold water.

5

Stir the amaranth mixture and continue to cook on the QUINOA setting. Set a timer for 23 minutes.

6

As the amaranth continues to cook, toss together mushrooms, olive oil, salt, remaining minced garlic, and parsley.

7

When your timer goes off, open the lid of the Everygrain™ Cooker and add seasoned mushrooms to one side of the Steaming Basket and the pea shoots to the other side. Close the lid, and resume cooking for 7 more minutes.

While the amaranth and vegetables finish cooking, peel and halve your eggs.

Once cooking is complete, transfer the amaranth to a serving plate and top with the mushrooms, pea shoots, and halved eggs. Garnish with shaved Parmesan, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes, if desired.

Warning icon indicating caution

NEVER use the nutribullet Cup to blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients.
DO NOT blend for more than one minute when using the nutribullet Cup.

Blending hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients in a nutribullet Cup may result in over-pressurization, causing the Cup to forcefully separate when removed from the Motor Base or upon opening, which may expel hot contents and/or exposure to the blades, both of which may cause serious bodily injuries.
