Amaranth grain

A very filling salad, the basis of which is avocado, full of fats, and quinoa - a source of carbohydrates. In principle, you could just pour olive oil over them, and it would already be great, but chef Boris Jovanovic from the restaurant Community supplemented their union with all sorts of interesting ingredients.

Recipe from Taras Kirienko, chef of the Touché restaurant.

Cheese and herb pancakes are a cozy dish of Russian cuisine that embodies the tenderness and aroma of fresh herbs. Their roots trace back to Slavic baking traditions where the combination of greens and cheese was always considered successful. In this recipe, amaranth groats, lentils, and Arborio rice create a delicate base, while mozzarella inside adds softness and rich flavor. Dill adds fresh spring notes, and the golden crust formed during frying and baking makes the pancakes especially appetizing. They are perfect for breakfast, a snack or a light dinner, pairing well with sauces based on sour cream or yogurt. These pancakes are not only filling but also rich in plant proteins, making them an excellent choice for balanced nutrition.

Amaranth porridge with blueberries is a delicate dish rooted in Greek cuisine, known for its love of healthy and aromatic ingredients. Amaranth, an ancient grain with a subtle nutty flavor, becomes surprisingly soft and velvety after cooking. It pairs wonderfully with the sweet notes of blueberries, maple syrup, and vanilla, creating an exquisite dessert or nutritious breakfast. Coconut milk and cream add a creamy texture to the dish, while a light pinch of salt enhances the natural sweetness. This treat not only delights the palate but also nourishes the body with beneficial nutrients, making it an excellent choice for those who value health and flavor in one.
