Amaranth tabbouleh

Claire Power

Fresh, versatile, and nutritious, this simple tabbouleh by Claire Power is sure to become a regular in your repertoire. Traditionally made with bulgur wheat, this version uses amaranth instead – a gluten-free pseudograin (actually a seed) packed with fibre, protein, and healthy micronutrients. 

Ingredients

Method

  1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil, then add in the amaranth. Cook for about 10–15 minutes, or until soft. Drain once cooked and set aside to cool down.
  2. Add the chopped parsley, onion, tomato, and the cooled amaranth to a bowl and mix to combine. 
  3. Dress with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil (if using). 

TIP: Serve as a side dish, use in sandwiches, or in pita wraps with falafel and hummus. Yum!
