Method

Cooking the Grits

Prepare the cooking liquid

In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tsp of salt to the boiling water.

Cook the grits

Gradually whisk in 1 cup of corn grits to the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 25-30 minutes or until the grits are creamy and tender.

Add butter

Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in 2 tbs of butter until melted and well combined.

Adding Smoky Flavor

Incorporate smoky flavor

Mix in 1 tsp of smoked paprika and 1 tsp of liquid smoke into the cooked grits until evenly distributed.

Serving

Garnish and serve

Serve the smoked corn grits warm, topped with chopped chives and, if desired, shredded cheese.
