“Power to the people! We’ll never go hungry once we become nobles!”
—girl in the Treno slums, FFIX
- 2½ cups water
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (70 g.) dry white corn grits
- ¼ cup (1 oz.) grated sharp cheddar cheese or Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon half & half
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons (10 g.) olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (a blend of dried basil, oregano, and other spices)
Bring water and salt to a boil in a large deep pan over high heat. Slowly stir in grits and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently and reducing heat as needed to prevent sticking, until mixture is thick and bubbling. Remove from heat and stir in cheese, half & half, and butter until melted. Divide between two bowls. Drizzle each bowl with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon crushed Italian seasoning.
