Chili Cheese Grits

To add variety to your grain repertoire, try grits (hulled, dried, and cracked corn kernels, long a Southern staple). Do seek out stone-ground grits, which are much more flavorful than the super-refined variety sold in supermarkets. Adapted from The Vegetarian 5-Ingredient Gourmet. [1]

Serves: 4 to 6
  • 1 cup grits (preferably stone-ground,
    but use quick-cooking grits if you prefer)
  • 2 tablespoons Earth Balance or other vegan buttery spread
  • 1 small fresh hot chili, seeded and minced, or
    one 4- to 6-ounce can chopped hot or mild green chilies
  • 1 cup firmly packed grated vegan cheddar cheese
  • Salt to taste

Bring 4 cups water to a simmer in a large saucepan. Slowly sprinkle in the grits, whisking constantly to avoid lumping. Cook over very low heat until smooth and thick, about 25 minutes for stone-ground and 5 minutes for quick grits.

Stir in the remaining ingredients. Heat until the cheese is smoothly melted into the grits and serve.

Variation: Add 1 cup cooked fresh or frozen thawed corn kernels.
