Green chili grits, fire-roasted tomatoes, mixed grain spelt sourdough English Muffin 💚
I'm so happy to have foundational foods that I can make rather quickly, this grits prep being one of them. This was yesterday's breakfast. I can now whip this up faster than oatmeal.
I use quick cooking hominy grits, not instant and not regular. If I learned one thing from the 1992 film My Cousin Vinny, it's that no self-respecting Southerner would ever cook instant grits. They didn't cover 'quick grits' in the movie, though they made it pretty clear that a grit should take 15-20 minutes to cook, unless they're magic grits. Maybe these are magic grits? Either way, just another reason I don't qualify as a self-respecting Southerner. Another, more significant reason is that I've only ever spent a handful of months in the South in my life. It's really hot there!! 😅
Anyway, I was kind of taken aback by the contrast on this plate. It was satisfying. It was delicious. But it was like eating modern art that I enjoy but I never really understand.
