    Nassau Grits Recipe

    This is a recipe from a friend of mine who lives in Pensacola. I've made it a few times over the years and is is quite good. This time I tweaked it by using chicken broth for the grits and smoked Tasso instead of ham:

    1 onion, chopped
    1 bell pepper, chopped,
    Bacon, diced (I used enough to equal the pile of onions)
    Ham (not sandwich ham), diced (I used smoked Tasso from my local grocery store - about equal proportion to the onion)

    Place all on a baking sheet and bake at 325* until veggies are soft and bacon is done. I did not bake the Tasso - it is already cooked and a little dry).

    Add to grits.

    Grits

    1 qt water (I used salt-free chicken stock)
    1/2 lb yellow or white grits (NOT instant or quick grits - I used Bob's Red Mill Yellow Grits/Polenta)
    1/2 stick butter
    1/2 -1 cup milk
    1 can Rotel tomatoes, undrained

    Bring water to a boil and salt to taste with Kosher salt (I messed up: I was shaking the salt directly from the big box instead of my small dispenser which was empty. A large clump fell into the pan and the grits were way too salty, thus "forcing" me to make another unsalted batch to blend). Note: Tasso is pretty salty, I probably won't add kosher salt at all in the future.

    Add grits and stir to prevent clumping. When they thicken, add the butter and milk. Simmer on low for 30-45 minutes, covered. Add Rotels with juice about 15 minutes into the simmer. When time is up, if the grits are too runny remove lid and thicken.

    Looks interesting, sounds interesting, may just give it a try. Grits to me, can take em or leave em. But you’ve got enough interesting stuff to give some good taste to the little buggers.

        OMG I LOVE GRITS. I do something similar but use shrimp instead of ham, and jalapeno instead of bell pepper. Gots to get some cheese in there though. Thanks for the recipe. May try it when I get home tomorrow.

          Oh, you can bet that I've got a good cheese grits recipe. This particular one posted above is from a local diner in P'Cola - no cheese in it but some smoked Gouda or Parmesan would be a great addition.

            Mr. Bones, sir, with respekt, how long have yew been livin' in that Kansas Terr'tory? And yew ain't never hearda grits? I once spent 12 years livin' in the depths of Kansas City metro area, much to my ongoin' misery. Grits wuz often on the menu of many of the joints I ate at. If ya like taters, rice, and other bland but fillin' foods, yew may like grits. But they do need a little fixin' up like the OP is doin' to make 'em truly tasty.

            Mr. Bones, I figured it would go good with the red and yellow in your beloved hat...

            I will pass your regards along to the better half. I almost got the entire bean recipe - she is still holding out on me.
