How to Make Grits

Step 1

In a medium saucepan bring water, milk, salt, and pepper to a boil over high heat. Slowly add grits, stirring constantly.

Step 2

Lower heat to medium and continue boiling while stirring. Once the grits have become mostly absorbed in the water, cover saucepan with lid and lower heat to simmer. Stir occasionally, for 25-35 minutes, or until grits are thick and creamy.

Step 3

Remove from heat and add butter, ricotta, and parmesan. Stir until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings, if necessary. Serve immediately.
