Slow cooked rice and amaranth porridge. Served with stewed pears and walnuts. Put rice and amaranth grains in the slow cooker with milk. Cook for 2-3 hours on low. Alternative: replace the amaranth with polenta. Just allow the rice to cook for an hour first, then add polenta. Rule of thumb is 1 cup grains to 2.5 cups liquid. Time in the kitchen: 2 minutes +cook time
