Popped Amaranth Parfait

• 1 cup amaranth

1. Heat a large saute pan over moderately high heat.
2. Add the amaranth two tablespoons at a time.
3. The amaranth should begin to pop within five seconds of hitting the pan.

5. Transfer the popped amaranth to a bowl and repeat the process until you have one cup of popped amaranth.
6. In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, maple syrup and salt.
7. In a small serving dish or cup, layer the berries, yogurt and popped amaranth, repeating until you reach the top.
8. Serve immediately, or store the components separately for up to two days.
