Squash Amaranth Patties
Yield: 1 Recipe     VG, WF*, GF*, DF

3/4 c Cooked amaranth
1/2 c Finely chopped onion
1/4 c Finely chopped bell pepper
1/2 c Millet flour
1 ts Garlic powder
1 c Grated zucchini squash
1/2 ts Chili powder
1 ea Egg
1 ts Tamari soy sauce*

Rinse cooked amaranth. Mix all ingredients in a medium bowl. Cook over medium high heat. Drop by tablespoon into a preheated skillet which has a non-stick surface or has been lightly oiled. Flatten patties with a spatula and allow to cook on the first side until the patty will stay together well before turning. Brown both sides

* WF & GF only if Tamari is wheat & gluten free.

"Once I figured out how to cook amaranth, the patties cooked well. They held together nicely and cooked quickly. The texture was as expected in a patty. I can't say the flavour was all to my liking. I found the taste of onions and spices overpowering, so my suggestion would be to adjust these ingredients to your own taste. Perhaps cooked or red onions would be a better choice. I actually preferred my re-heated day-old patty with extra soy sauce over the fresh one."

Allen Mayer, Tester

Note: For this recipe the amaranth should have a texture similar to rice or couscous. Use a 2-1 ratio of water to amaranth and cook for about 18 - 20 minutes.
