Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and remove any yellow leaves.

  2. 2

    Char the Brussels Sprouts

    Toss the Brussels sprouts in olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Grill them for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are charred and tender.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Amaranth

    While the Brussels sprouts are grilling, rinse the amaranth under cold water. In a small pot, combine the rinsed amaranth with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, lime juice, and Valentina hot sauce.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    In a large bowl, combine the charred Brussels sprouts, cooked amaranth, and pumpkin seeds. Drizzle the sauce over the mixture and toss to combine. Serve warm.
