Notes

Salt: A few readers have mentioned that they found this recipe too salty. First, ensure that you are using kosher salt, and not table salt. If you only have table salt, start with 1/2 a teaspoon. With kosher salt, start with 1 teaspoon. At the end of the recipe, taste it and decide if you need more. I like this recipe with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt.
