A while ago I bought GoGo Quinoa's Amaranth Flakes at Winners. To be honest, I don't know what it is exactly, but I know it is gluten free and it looks like something you can use multiple ways. Amaranth is a high source of fibre and iron. Check out the wikipedia explanation!
The box has a recipe for falafel, and I love falafel. So I was excited to try this recipe as we already have a great recipe for a baked falafel from Today;s Parent. I thought to share this one to compare.

This is what amaranth flakes look like
Ingredients:
1/3 Cup amaranth flakes
540 ml canned chickpeas
1 cup parsley
1 cup cilantro (I omitted out of preference)
4 garlic cloves
1 medium minced onion
1.5 tsp cumin
1.5 tsp paprika
1/4 cayenne pepper (I omitted out of preference)
4-6 tbsp of gluten free flour (We always use Kinnikinnick)
Directions:
1. Mix ingredients (we used a food processor)
2. Form balls
3. Cook with some oil in a non stick pan, while flattening them out a bit.
Enjoy with some tahini sauce! (just add 2 part tahini, 1 part water, half part lemon juice and garlic powder paprika to taste)
