Cheesy McEwen Grits

Source of Recipe

From "My Family Table" by John Besh


Recipe Introduction

"Frank McEwen is a good friend, philosopher, and corn miller who makes the finest grits and cornmeals out of simply the best organic corn, period. If you don't have access to any of his fine products, make sure your grits are stone ground, yielding fine particles along with coarser granules, and you'll have super-creamy grits with great texture."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 cup McEwen & Sons organic stone ground grits
â—¦ 4 tablespoons butter
â—¦ ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
â—¦ Salt
â—¦ Freshly ground black pepper


Recipe

Bring 1 quart water to a boil in a medium pot over medium-high heat.

Stir in the grits briskly and return to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer (the grits should bubble occasionally) and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring from time to time.

Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and cheese. Continue stirring until the butter and cheese are full incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
