Cooking Amaranth
In a 1-1/2 to 2-quart heavy saucepan, bring amaranth, water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover pan with tight-fitting lid. Cook 20-25 minutes until the amaranth is tender. Remove pan from heat and let stand, covered with a towel over the pot and lid replaced tightly, for 5 minutes without opening the pot. Remove lid and fluff amaranth with a fork.
Purée
In a blender or food processor, purée cilantro, onion, scallion, jalapeño, lime juice, olive oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt. (If necessary, add 1-2 Tablespoons of water to facilitate blending).
