Grit Cake Recipe

Instructions for Grit Cake

1. 1

   Prepare the Grits

   In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt and slowly whisk in the corn grits. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 20 minutes.

2. 2

   Add Cheese

   Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tbs of olive oil. Season with black pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Roast the Mushrooms

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the sliced mushrooms with 1 tbs of olive oil, minced garlic, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

4. 4

   Sauté the Broccoli Raab

   In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped broccoli raab and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Add the Marsala wine and cook until it has reduced slightly.

   Assemble the Grit Cake

   In a serving dish, spread the cheesy grits as a base, top with roasted mushrooms, and finish with the sautéed broccoli raab and Marsala reduction.
