Grits

Wild Mushroom Topping

Mixed Vegetable Topping

Method

Prepare the Grits

  1. 1

    Cook the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the corn grits, nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until the grits are creamy and cooked through.

  2. 2

    Finish the Grits

    Once the grits are done, stir in the olive oil for added creaminess and flavor. Keep warm while you prepare the toppings.

Prepare the Wild Mushroom Topping

  1. 3

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add the Mushrooms

    Add the mixed wild mushrooms, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and browned. Remove from heat.

Prepare the Mixed Vegetable Topping

  1. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 6

    Add the Vegetables

    Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, carrot, salt, black pepper, and basil. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant. Remove from heat.
