Recipe: Creamy Grits
Description: One morning while I was making grits I thought how could I improve this? Aha! Here is the new and improved model. Sometimes I add cheese, sometimes herbs. Gruyere is spectacular. Also, we love these grits topped with poached eggs for breakfast or creamy mushroom ragout for lunch or dinner.
Ingredients: [{"text": "1 1/3 cups chicken broth"}, {"text": "1 1/3 cups fat-free half-and-half"}, {"text": "2/3 cup grits"}, {"text": "4 tablespoons butter"}, {"text": "salt and pepper"}, {"text": "hot sauce"}]
Instructions: Bring the liquids to a boil and whisk in the grits.
Lower the heat to a slow simmer, cover and cook until creamy and soft, about 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally so they don't stick.
Season with butter, salt and pepper, and serve.
Offer hot sauce on the side.
