Amaranth With Tomato Type Sauce

• 1 cup amaranth, seed
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1 bunch spinach
• 2 ripe tomatoes, skinned and coarsely chopped
• 1/2 lb mushroom, sliced
• 1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon onion, minced
• salt
• pepper

1. Boil the water and add amaranth, bring back to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
2. Wash spinach, then simmer until tender.
3. Blanch tomatoes to remove skin if desired then peel and chop I leave the skin on
4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add garlic and onion with a bit of broth or oil. Saute about 2 minutes then add tomato, mushrooms, basil, oregano, salt Or Dash, pepper and 1 tablespoon of water.
5. Drain and chop spinch and add to tomato mixture cooking for 10 to 15 minutes stirring occasionally. Stir so that you mush the tomato up a bit if desired I sometimes leave it a bit chunky.
6. Stir the sauce into the amaranth or spoon it on top.
7. Notes: I use Mrs Dash Tomato and Garlic blend the most. Amaranth leaves can be used in place of spinach if you can find them.
