"Take grits upscale by adding fresh corn, goat cheese and chives...."
INGREDIENTS
•
3 cups water
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
•
3/4 cup quick grits (not instant; see Tips)
•
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 1 large ear; see Tips) or frozen
•
3/4 cup cup crumbled goat cheese (3 ounces), divided
•
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives or scallion greens
•
Tips: Look for quick grits near oatmeal and other hot cereals or near cornmeal in the baking aisle. To cut kernels from the cob, stand an ear of corn on one end and slice the kernels off with a sharp knife.
