The original recipe used mashed banana instead of applesauce. I imagine that most pureed fruit would work (or even something like a sweet potato).

what can i use instead of applesauce??thanks

Mija,

That sounds really good! I've never tried to make anything other than porridge with whole teff, mostly because I didn't have any ideas. Thanks for that great suggestion!

we had these whole oats sitting around forever, have been getting into the crock pot lately, and seemed perfect... just put them on, hope they are great like you say!

Hi! I am from Croatia and we recently got this fabulous cereal in our stores.

my receipe:

I put teff in water with salt, green pea, onion, garlic, peeled plum tomatoes and smoked tofu.
First I roast onion and garlic and then I put water and other ingredients.

At the end, I strew on the finished meal: crushed roasted flaxseeds.

It was fantastic!

Thanks--I will have to try this very soon! I love steel cut oats for the same reason as you--the fact that you can still distinguish the morsels of oat.

I just made this tonight. I found it by Google-ing a few ingredients I had in my pantry. I opened a can of chipotles and put the rest in an ice cube tray to freeze individually. I added chopped cilantro at the end of cooking for a little color. Very good recipe. I will make it again!

Lovely! I'm putting that on my Xmas Eve menu. Think it might be good with a bit of balsamic vinegar to balance the sweetness?

Going to try this tonight!

2011-11-05T09:18:51.506-04:00

Ben - Amaranth is very high in total fiber content, and from what I've read it's primarily insoluble. It is high in a number of minerals, as well (the content of almost every mineral is higher than that in oats).

I'm not too worried about phytic acid, so I don't know how amaranth compares to other grains.

2011-10-09T17:20:11.089-04:00

Some grains keep their phytic acid even after overnight soaking!

Do you know if Amaranth is closer to oats/corn or rye in this respect?

Also, I'd love to swap my oatmeal for something that's gluten free, high in soluble fiber.. any ideas if the fiber in amaranth is soluble or insoluble? How does it compare in minerals (mg, mn, etc)?

Icqc - I've read the same thing, and chewing is only going to crack some of the seeds open. I like the seeds in this porridge for flavor, so I'm not too worried, but you could use flax meal instead (I think that heat converts all of the omega 3 fatty acids into nonessential fatty acids, so you would want to add it just before you eat it).

Anon and Beth - I'm glad you enjoyed it!

PickleMama - I've never heard of a roller for the home kitchen. I think that in factories rolled oats are steamed a bit, which I'm sure reduces the cooking time. I hope you enjoyed the groats!

2011-09-18T20:08:00.389-04:00

I have read (various accounts) that flax seeds consumed whole like this - not ground before cooking, that is - will not be digested (and thus their nutrients not absorbed) unless the hulls are cracked by chewing while eating, something not too likely to happen with a breakfast porridge. Not so?
