Pistachio Amaranth & Teff Crisps

Author: Lauren Chandler Cooks with photography by Dana Halferty Photography

Serves: Makes 16 crisps

Ingredients

• ¼ cup Maskal Teff® ivory grain
• ¼ cup amaranth
• 1 ½ cup water
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons pistachio nuts, finely chopped (¼ cup pistachios in shells)
• sea salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. In a small pot, combine the teff and amaranth with 1 ½ cup water over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender, about 25 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
3. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Coat the parchment paper with olive oil. Drop evenly spaced tablespoons of the cooked grain on the parchment paper and use a spatula, coated with olive oil, to spread the grain in a very thin layer. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and pistachios.
4. Bake until the crackers start to lift from the parchment paper and are golden brown, around 35 -40 minutes, then flip over and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes to crisp up the middles.
