All About Ancient Grains!

This week we’re featuring hearty, nourishing ancient grains. These pantry mainstays are full of texture and perfect for batch-cooking, ideal for assembling meals throughout the week. We start out with crispy fritters, move onto warm grain bowls and then ease into the weekend with a creamy alternative to oatmeal.

Vegan Millet Fritters with Lemony Yogurt Sauce 
by @clarelangan

Millet has a texture like couscous and a flavor similar to quinoa. When given the fritter treatment, they become super crispy. Serve it with a simple green salad for a vibrant start to the week.

Wild Rice and Microgreen Salad

This isn’t the wild rice pilaf from a box from the 90s. Packed with lots of fresh herbs, crunchy nuts and citrus, this hearty salad is delicious on its own or topped with a protein. Swap in any dried fruit or nuts you like.

Amaranth Breakfast Porridge with Caramelized Bananas by @foodyfirst

Amaranth is a grain-like seed similar to quinoa. It’s high in protein with a sweet, earthy flavor. We love it in porridge as a change of pace from oatmeal. Caramelized bananas and nut butter take this breakfast over the top!
