Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a large saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil. Stir in the grits, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the grits are thick and creamy.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Cream and Cheese

    Once the grits are cooked, stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing until well combined and creamy.

  3. 3

    Add 'Nduja Butter

    'Nduja butter can be made by combining softened butter and 'nduja. Stir this mixture into the grits until melted and fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Season and Serve

    Taste the grits and season with black pepper and additional salt if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy!
