Mesquite Gruel

4-1/2 cups water
1 cup finely ground and sifted mesquite flour
1/2 cup of some other flour or ground grain
1/2 teaspoon salt

Combine water, salt, mesquite meal and other ground grain (such as whole wheat flour or oat flour) and cook for about 30 minutes. If using another flour, cook mesquite mixture for 10 minutes, then add flour, and cook another 20 to 25 minutes. Stir frequently.
