One of my favorite foods, grits are a Southern staple and pretty common at the local meat n three you might encounter passing through the south, so here we go, grits and more grits!
Basic grits:
Bring two cups of water to a full boil and add a cap full of cooking oil, stir and add one cup of grits, stirring well until they begin to "bloop"
remove from heat and let sit for ten minutes.
That is as basic as it gets, Basic is boring as hell! you can add butter, salt, and pepper, and a sunny-side-up egg on top. basic breakfast with a side of swine.
Basic is boring.
Before you cover your pot of grits to allow it to sit, you can add a couple of tablespoons of sugar and a couple of nondairy creamer, stir well, and let sit a few minutes, it tastes like cream of wheat but it's better for you and used the same way.
You can add a large mixing spoon full of peanut butter and a spoonful of your favorite jelly, and mix well for PBJ grits.
Taking the same pan of water, add three mixed eggs, grits, a cup of cubed cheddar or American cheese, two finely diced Jalapeno peppers, and a bit of minced onion if desired. Bring to a bloop for one minute, stir well, cover, and cool for ten minutes.
Taking your basic grits again, just as they start to bloop, add 4 eggs on top and cover for five minutes for soft-boiled, ten for done.
OH NO! Extra grits? Don't waste them on the dog, save them until the next day, gently remove it from the pan in as much as one piece as possible, dip in egg yolk and bread crumbs, and fry until golden brown.
Taking the basic grits, add 1/2 a stick of butter and 4 scoops of Nestle's quick, pour into a greased bowl, and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
Serve on toast with a scoop of cherry pie filling.
Using a 60/40 mix to make stiffer grits, serve with chicken gravy as a side dish.
More later!
