Directions

The book gives no cooking times; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.

  1. In a pot, combine 1 part protose with 4 cups of water.

  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

  3. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

  4. Season with salt to taste before serving.
