Multigrain Porridge
Such a comforting and delicious breakfast made with three types of nutritious whole grains. It's a very hearty and filling, it has a soft yet chewy texture, and whole grain nutty flavor.

Servings: 4
Ready in: 35 minutes
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 cup steel cut oats (not quick cooking)
1/2 cup farro, rinsed in a fine sieve and drained
1/2 cup amaranth, rinsed in a fine sieve and drained*
4 cups water
1/4 tsp (heaping) salt
1/2 cup milk, plus more to thin
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 - 2 Tbsp real maple syrup, or more to taste

Instructions:
1. Add steel cut oats, farro, amaranth, water and salt to a large saucepan and stir.
2. Bring mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until nearly tender, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes.
3. Add milk and cinnamon and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes longer while thinning with more milk as desired.
4. Stir in maple syrup, add desired toppings. Serve warm.

Notes:
If you don't have a sieve fine enough to rinse the amaranth you can skip this step. I buy amaranth here.
Good toppings include chopped nuts, dried fruit like raisins or dried cranberries, fresh berries, bananas, peaches, mangos, apples, coconut, nut butters, fruit curds, jams or syrups. ...read more
