  • 1 tsp Parsley – minced

Directions

1

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

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.

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

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.

8

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

9

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.
