Step 1.
In a deep pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and crushed garlic, and sauté for 7-10 minutes until the onions are softened and translucent.
Next add the washed amaranth leaves to the pot, season with salt, and stir. The leaves will wilt as they cook.
Step 2.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and bring to a simmer. Let the mixture cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the amaranth greens are tender and the tomatoes are cooked through, add the chopped coriander and stir to combine.
Serve the Utaifi hot with fresh bread or as a side dish with protein.
