Awesome Buttery Grits With Corn Recipes

SAVORY BREAKFAST GRITS

Steps:

• Add the salt to the water and bring to a rolling boil. Slowly whisk in the grits, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Continue cooking until the grits are thickened and the water absorbed.
• Remove from heat and stir in the cream. Pour the grits into a bowl or onto a serving plate.
• Garnish with butter, bacon, cheese, scallions, and hot sauce. Enjoy immediately while piping hot.

AWESOME BUTTERY GRITS WITH CORN

Steps:

• In skillet melt butter and add whole kernel corn.
• Season to taste and saute corn over medium heat until light brown approximately 20 minutes.
• In large saucepan combine chicken broth, cream, butter, corn and salt.
• Bring to a boil and slowly add grits stirring constantly.
• Lower heat, cover and simmer on low for 15 to 20 minutes.

CREAMY GRITS FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• In a medium heavy saucepan, combine the water and milk and bring it to a boil (keep an eye on the pot, as the milk can boil over!). Season the liquid generously with salt, then whisk in the grits. Bring the mixture back to a boil while whisking. Continue whisking for 2-3 minutes, or until the grits are slightly thickened (the mixture will still be quite liquidy, and that's okay).
• Reduce the heat to low and partially cover the saucepan (there should be a small crack so that some steam can escape). Cook, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until the grits are tender and thickened, about 30-40 minutes (they should feel soft on the tongue, not gritty). Feel free to splash in more milk as needed while cooking if the grits start to look really thick-they should be creamy and should swirl easily. Stir in the butter. Season the grits generously with salt (this is key for flavor-you will need more than you think!).
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it until you're ready to serve, up to 30 minutes. If you want to hold the grits for longer, drizzle a bit of milk over the surface before covering (this will help prevent a skin from forming)-they can sit out for up to 1 hour. Before serving, reheat the grits over low, stirring and adding more milk if needed.

BUTTERED GRITS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups water, grits, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally and scraping down sides of pan with a heatproof rubber spatula, until thick and creamy, about 25 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add butter and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; stir until incorporated. Serve with hot sauce on the side, if desired.
