Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water and salt to a boil. Gradually whisk in the stone ground grits, reducing the heat to low.

  2. 2

    Cook the Grits

    Stir the grits frequently, cooking for about 20-25 minutes until thick and creamy. If the grits become too thick, you can add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.

  3. 3

    Make the Herbed Butter

    In a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter with the chopped fresh herbs until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Once the grits are cooked, remove from heat and stir in the herbed butter until melted and well incorporated. Serve warm.
