Amaranth Corn Sauté

Yield

Yield: 4-5 Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, small dice
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 Anaheim or 1 green bell pepper, small dice
  • 1 large bunch amaranth greens
  • ⅔ cup Edamame, blanched
  • 1 ¼ cups corn kernels, cooked (about 2 ears)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1tsp chili powder
  • Salt & Black Pepper to taste
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 Tbsp cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the amaranth by separating the leaves from the stems. Roughly chop the leaves, you should have about 3 cups of lightly packed leaves. Cut the stems into ½” long pieces and keep separate from leaves.
  2. Melt butter in a medium sauté pan over moderate heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until tender, add peppers and amaranth stems and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add lime juice and amaranth leaves, season with salt and pepper and cover. Simmer until the leaves have wilted down. Check the pan periodically, add 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed.
  3. Once leaves have wilted, add edamame, corn, chili powder, and oregano.
  4. Stir to combine and return cover. Simmer for 3-5 minutes. Add cider vinegar and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
