CREAMY GRITS (RICE COOKER)



Creamy Grits (Rice Cooker) image

I first tasted grits as an adult and was underwhelmed. But I really started to enjoy them with added ingredients, so I started thinking of how to improve them for breakfast. I realized that I had also disliked oatmeal made with water, so taking a cue from my mother, I prepared them with milk. I really liked the results, but not the cooking of them. So I threw everything into the rice cooker - yummy grits with no fuss. This recipe can be doubled readily.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups whole milk
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup uncooked grits (not instant)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring the milk and water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the salt. Slowly add the grits, stirring constantly. When the grits begin to thicken, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the grits from scorching. Add the butter and cream, stirring to incorporate thoroughly, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the pepper. Serve the grits immediately or keep them warm, covered, in a double boiler over simmering water.
  • Note: If the grits are too thick, stir in more cream or milk. Remember that grits solidify as they cool; they will get thicker once on the plates.

CREAMY RICE GRITS WITH TOMATO RELISH



Creamy Rice Grits With Tomato Relish image

From bonappetit.com. About 'rice grits': "We've been fans of rice grits ever since Ashley Christensen of Poole's Diner in Raleigh, NC, turned us on to the ingredient in her recipe for Creamy Rice Grits with Tomato Relish, which appears in our September issue. The grits, a.k.a. shorts, brokens, or middlins, are a by-product of milling Carolina Gold rice, the fragile long-grain rice that's been cultivated in the Low Country for centuries. The broken pieces of rice take on a creamy, risotto-like texture when boiled, making them the perfect canvas for a rich sauce. "I'm really taken with them," Christensen says. "I like keeping them really simple and velvety, where you get the nuttiness and natural sweetness of the rice." Read how to make your own rice grits below. Also, I used my posted homemade roasted tomato recipe in this dish : see Recipe #464021. The recipe was cut in half, as well. A fresh herb of choice (fresh parsley, basil, ??) wouldn't be out of place as a garnish either.

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes (read recipe Intro)
1 small shallot, finely chopped
salt
fresh ground pepper
2 1/4 cups carolina gold rice grits
1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese (I think you could make a reasonable substitution-asiago, fontina, romano, etc.)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (*real* butter!)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
olive oil
fresh herb (I minced fresh basil and Italian flat leaf parsley together)

Steps:

  • HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN RICE GRITS: Although you can order Carolina Gold Rice Grits online you can also make your own. "To do so, freeze your favorite good-quality long-grain rice (I bought organic standard long grain white rice) for 30 minutes to make it brittle. Then, working in batches, grind it a few times in a spice mill until the grains are very coarsely ground into rough, uneven pieces about a third of the original grain's size. Transfer the mixture to a medium strainer set over a bowl to sift out the "dust," then use the remaining pieces in any recipe that calls for rice grits." CG says ^^this step was easier said than done. My version was much easier: after removing the rice from the freezer I ground the rice to the same consistency as regular (corn) grits that they were virtually identical in appearance except for those little black specks in corn grits. If you don't know what traditional grits look like, go to Google and search for an image to guide you. I skipped the strainer part, too. (Uh, CG -- I must ask -- Isn't this in essence Cream of Rice™? Yes, but it's glorified Cream of Rice™, I answer!).
  • Mix tomatoes and shallot in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
  • Bring 12 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan.
  • Stir in grits and season with salt. Reduce heat to medium; simmer grits until almost tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Drain, reserving 2 cups cooking liquid; return liquid and grits to saucepan. Another Note: because of the manner in which I ground the rice there was no liquid left to drain. I cooked the rice as indicated in Step # above, then another 5-6 minutes as directed in the following Step.
  • Stir over medium heat until creamy, 5-6 minutes.
  • Add cheese and butter; stir to melt. Stir in lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to a large wide bowl, forming a well in center.
  • Stir olive oil into tomato mixture; pour into well.

Tips:

  • Use the right ratio of grits to liquid. The general rule is 1 cup of grits to 4 cups of liquid. However, you may need to adjust this ratio depending on the type of grits you are using and the desired consistency.
  • Bring the liquid to a boil before adding the grits. This will help to prevent the grits from clumping.
  • Stir the grits constantly during the first few minutes of cooking. This will also help to prevent clumping and ensure that the grits cook evenly.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer the grits for the recommended amount of time. Do not overcook the grits, or they will become mushy.
  • Season the grits to taste. You can add salt, pepper, butter, or other seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the grits immediately. Grits are best when served hot.
  • Top the grits with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for grits include cheese, bacon, sausage, eggs, and shrimp.
