COCONUT GRITS

COCONUT GRITS

INGREDIENTS

•

◦ 2 cups chicken stock

◦ 2 cups coconut milk, homemade or canned

◦ 1 cup stone-ground grits

◦ ½ tsp. salt, or to taste

◦ 2 tbsp. unsalted butter

◦ Freshly ground black pepper

PREPARATION

In a medium-heavy saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the stock and coconut milk, then slowly whisk in the grits and salt until well incorporated.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer, lifting the lid to whisk often, for 45 minutes to 1 hour, adding more water or stock as needed until the grits are creamy and thick.

Stir in the butter and season with pepper and more salt if needed.
