Do you like Grits???

[COOPER]

I love grits. I like 'em thick with salt and butter. Thick enough that they won't fall off the spoon.

I love to mix them with my Egg's over medium. Yummy!:thumbsup

Sometimes I put white milk gravy over them with bacon when I have biscuits and gravy.

Never put sugar on grits.....ever!

[Digging4Truth]

[Digging4Truth]

I am the same way Coop...

Sweetening up Malt-O-Meal and Cream Of Wheat is fine... but not for grits.

CHTatum... never tried mushrooms, cheese etc... sounds like it would be good though... not sure about sauteed onions though.

[Darty]

Well this whole post makes me want to tell Diggin to kiss my grits... guess that is my southern bell comming out in me.

It is sooo humid, you start to sweat almost as soon as you're done dryin' off after a shower, and your hair won't stay curled.

It THUNDERS, POURS RAIN, and FLASH FLOODS every time the sun goes down.

It has chiggers.

It has fire ants...and yes, I got bit!

Oh, and don't even get me started on the cockroaches!!! Eeewww

Oregon doesn't even HAVE cockroaches....Now that right there is the Promised Land!!!! :nod

Thought I'd post some different ways of making grits. Here's one. I don't like raisins though.







Fast & Hearty Breakfast Cereal

3 cups water or milk
3/4 cup Quaker or Aunt Jemima Enriched Hominy Quick Grits, uncooked*
1/3 cup raisins
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Bring water to a boil. Slowly stir in grits, raisins and salt; reduce heat. Simmer 2 to 4 minutes or until desired consistency, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in brown sugar and cinnamon. Serve warm with milk, if desired.
4 SERVINGS

4 oz. Pasteurized process cheese spread, cubed

Dash of garlic powder (optional)
Paprika

Bring water to a boil; slowly stir in grits. Reduce heat; simmer 3 to 4 minutes or until thick, stirring occasionally. Add cheese and garlic powder; continue cooking until cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika

[Lucy Van Pelt]

Sardines for breakfast???!!!???!!!??? Your wife is a smart lady to not let you bring those stinking sardines in the house. Does she make you brush your teeth and use scope before she lets you back in the house after you eat them?

[Rico]

Southern Scramble
Try this change of pace breakfast made easy in one skillet.


1-1/2 cups water
1/2 cup Quaker or Aunt Jemima Enriched Hominy Quick Grits, uncooked*
1 tablespoon margarine or butter

1 cup (4 oz.) shredded Swiss cheese
6 eggs, beaten
1 cup cubed ham
2 tablespoons sliced green onions

The Green Valley Spa's Shrimp and Grits
Recipe Created by Fio Antognini, Executive Chef, Green Valley Spa & Resort

Ingredients:
3/4 cup Quaker Instant Grits
3 cups water
1/4 roasted red bell pepper, diced
3/4 teaspoon curry powder

Dash of sea salt

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

1/2 lb. (8 oz.) raw, peeled and de-veined shrimp

1/4 cup white wine

1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream
1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce (your favorite brand: mild, medium or hot)

Chopped parsley for garnish


Cooking:
Prepare Quaker Instant Grits according to package directions. Add curry and bell peppers; stir well over low heat for 1 minute to allow flavors to meld. Cover and keep warm.

In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil. Add onions and cook for 2 minutes over medium-high heat stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms, stir to combine, and cook for 3 minutes. Add shrimp, stir to combine, and cook for 2 minutes. In a bowl, mix the white wine, mustard, sour cream, soy sauce and hot sauce. Pour mixture into pan while stirring with shrimp and vegetables. Simmer uncovered for 2 minutes.

To serve, ladle an even amount of grits onto 4 dinner plates, creating a large, thin “circle” of grits on each. Spoon the shrimp mixture onto the center of grits. Garnish each plate with a sprinkling of chopped parsley, and serve.

Optional garnish: crumbled turkey bacon

Yield: 4 servings

Green Valley Spa's Main Course Variation:
When adding the shrimp, add 1 cup frozen edamame (shelled soybeans).

Spanish (from Spain). His family has been over here for three or four hundred years though.

When we go to Mexican places, they all try to talk to him and he doesn't know Spanish. He can "hear" it but not speak it.

When we go to the Indian reservation, they all think he is Indian. Which one grandmother was Camanche (sp?).

He has said he should go to Iraq and work and make the big bucks cause he would blend in and they would leave him alone. Wifey won't let him go, though!

NO!

Sometimes I put white milk gravy over them with bacon when I have biscuits and gravy.

Never put sugar on grits.....ever!

We eat grits with butter and sugar and don't care what any of you think about it. ;p

I'm with you, Rico. I love grits. But swimming in butter with lots of sugar. Mmmmmm

[Bryan]

What's a hick? I love grits with breakfast. I eat them with a dab of butter and salt and pepper. Only city folk put milk and sugar on their grits! YEEHAW...I love me some grits with cat head bisquits and pure cane syrup.

I direct you to Scott Hutchinson.. and maybe Coonskinner...

I don't know if this is how the chocolate gravy I had was made, but I found this recipe online.


Chocolate Gravy

2 Tablespoons (heaping) cocoa

2 cups milk

1 3/4 cups sugar

2 Tablespoons (slightly rounded) flour

1 Teaspoon vanilla

Butter

shake of salt

Mix together all but milk in medium saucepan. Add enough milk to make paste. Stir in remaining milk (a little at a time) until smooth. Cook on medium until bubbling and gravy thickens. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla and a few pats of butter to taste.

Don't knock it til ya try it. Grits is just another form of ground up corn anyway, so there are literally many many ways of making it. I am sure the way y'all make it in the south is good too. Well, I may be wrong on it being corn. Never really looked it up, to be honest with you.

You pretty much have it right.

It is ground hominy.

Hominy is corn that has been soaked (in something like lye) and the husks removed.

It seems that in the South grits are used more as a side dish, where we just eat them as a breakfast cereal.

(Time for an admission of Southern shame)

I have never cooked slow cook grits. Only instant.

I know... I know.. the shame is one I will have to bear.

I wonder if the ones I get at the local restaurant are instant or not?

I do think that Denny's uses milk though which helps instant a little.

To be honest with you, I don't know how the cornbread I've eaten was made. My wife used to make it out of a box, but I've had home made before and it was way better.

Speaking of grits, I have heard that there is some sort of patty that can be made from grits, that you fry up. Does anyone know what I am talking about? It sounds like something that maybe I could modify by adding some meat to the middle and doctoring up, Puerto Rican style.

Sounds very similar to potato pancakes...except with grits of course. :)

Well, I was thinking that maybe I could make either some chicken, pork, or beef, seasoned the way us Ricans like it, and add it to the patty. Maybe let it fry some on one side, add the meat to the center area, flip the whole thing over right quicklike and finish frying the other side.

[Rico]

tell me about the Rican seasoning?

Well, it's really not all that different than other seasonings. We have this stuff we make called "sofrito" that is basically onion, garlic, green pepper, cilantro, salt, pepper, comino, and anything else you'd like to add. We put it all in a blender, grind it all up, freeze it, and then use it on just about everything. There are other things we use too, like achiote (I think that's how it's spelled) that we use for red rice. We use several different types of bananas, including plantain. Plus there are various roots that I can't remember their names off the top of my head that are considered native Rican food. We use dried salt pork in our rice for flavor.

One of my favorite dishes is called tostones. Basically, they're fried plantain. Once you skin the plantain you cut it into slices and fry it in maybe a 1/4 inch of corn oil. When it's about half way done you take them out of the skillet smash them flat, and finish frying them. They're really good, sort of an appetizer, if you please.

Then there's pasteles. They are made mainly from ground up plantain and other bananas that you make into an almost oatmeal like consistency. Then you put some on some aluminum foil, add whatever meat you've prepard to the middle with maybe an olive or two, fold up the aluminum foil nice and neat, and then proceed to boil the whole thing until it's cooked. They're really good too.

Then there's bacalau, which is a dried, seasoned cod fish. That's always good with rice.

Man, I am hungry now and no pasteles in sight!

The simplest way is to chill cooked grits overnight, then the next morning you shape or slice the grits into 1/2 " patties and fry in hot oil like potato pancakes. Salt and pepper, serve with eggs and bacon!

We usually add chopped onions to ours or minced green onions...but all the other additions (cheese, breadcrumbs, etc) are probably pretty good. I like mine the simple way. :D

Grits are a blank slate, like potatoes or rice, and can be eaten any number of ways, sweet or savory.

(If you plan to fry grits, I would go with the regular grits--not the instant packet kind.)
