How about a delicious breakfast of amaranth with cherries? This combination provides not only a wonderful taste, but also a filling breakfast.
Amaranth with cherries
This time there is a little variety in my breakfast. I have cooked a porridge from amaranth. Amaranth is often used as a grain substitute and is therefore a healthy alternative to millet and quinoa. In addition, there are delicious cherries, which is the contrast to the somewhat earthy taste of amaranth.

Amaranth with cherries as breakfast is a healthy and delicious way to start the day. It gives energy and a satisfied and filling feeling. The cherries are a wonderful contrast to the amaranth flavor.

Instructions
- Wash amaranth in a fine-mesh sieve.

Sour cherries in particular taste ideal with amaranth. If you want to do it quickly, you can either rinse the frozen cherries briefly with hot water in a sieve or simmer them with the amaranth porridge.
