Vino

We made this a couple weeks ago, and it was surprising how well the amaranth (chauli) and roasted eggplant went together.  The sweet/spicy flavor of the eggplant is complemented very well with the ever so slight bitterness of the amaranth.

As usual, our introduction to amaranth was simply because our farmer’s market sells and and we decided to try it.  If you do come across this at your own market, I highly suggest giving it a try.  My taste buds are pretty sensitive to bitter things (arugula for example, is so bitter to me that it is basically inedible), so considering I really like this green means that it is not overly bitter.
