Amaranth leaves recipe Ingredients
This is leaf that is used in Caribbean cooking as well as African.
The woman I bought it from suggested to saute with a bit of onion,
tomato and hot pepper (jalapeno or scotch bonnet). There are many
involved recipes for stews that contain the ingredient too. But for
the first try I would keep it simple. And how fun to call the family
