Plain Grits

Ingredients

2 1/2 cup Water
1/8 tsp. Salt
1/2 cup Yellow grits (coarse ground is best)

Instructions

Place the water and salt in a large sauce pan over high heat.

When the water boils, slowly pour in the grits while whisking continuously.

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes. Whisk frequently.

When the grits are nearly done most of the water will have evaporated and the grits will be tender but not mushy.

Serve.

Recipe Notes

I prefer to use coarse ground yellow cornmeal but white is OK. You do want to look for a cornmeal that is labelled “whole grain.”

"When you cut that eggplant up and you roast it in the oven and you make the tomato sauce and you put it on top, your soul is in that food, and there's something about that that can never be made by a company that has three million employees."
