  • Step 2: Add milk and 1 t salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. whisk in the grits, decrease heat to low, simmer, whisking occasionally, until grits are creamy and thick, 45-60 minutes. Stir in the butter, cheese, parsley, and chives. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt & pepper.

  • Step 3: Variation: Grits & greens are one of the best possible marriages in Southern cuisine. It's a meal in itself or an incredible bed for Bourbon Baked Ham. Prepare Tangle of Bitter Greens, then add greens to saucepan of cooked grits as the last step, stir well to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Serve immediately.
