I was in the kitchen the other morning preparing some truly southern comfort food – grits. Not really liking plain food, I decided to jazz it up some. Following is my “recipe”:
4-6 slices of bacon cut into thin pieces
“some” herbes de provence
“some” salt
2 cups water
1 cup milk (makes the grits creamy)
1 cup grits
“some” cheese
Cook the bacon and the herbes de provence together until mostly done. Add the water and milk and bring to a boil. Add the grits and some salt to taste, reducing the heat to simmer. About two minutes before the grits are done, stir in the cheese making sure to also scrape the bottom of the pot so that the grits don’t stick (you probably should do that periodically but I only do it once).
Voila!
My next adventure in grits land will include shrimp. I will share if it tastes good. I will probably also share if it doesn’t taste good, after all, I did mention that I don’t really like to cook so there will be some disasters…
