Grits With Caramelized Onions and Goat Cheese image

Owing much to the inspiration and Southern Charm of Impera_Magna, I am venturing into the world of grits and posting my first grits' recipe! Use a regional onion available where you live: Vidalia, Maui, Walla Walla, etc. however a standard yellow onion will work fine. Please, feel free to substitute another good quality (goat) melting cheese: fontina, havarti, manchego, etc. Although this recipe wouldn't win a beauty contest, it makes up for it in taste and congeniality.

Time 50m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons butter
1 large vidalia onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1 cup quick-cooking grits (not instant)
2 2/3-3 cups water (I use less water for thicker grits)
2 ounces fresh goat cheese (I used chevre)
salt and pepper
fresh parsley, to garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add butter to skillet and swirl to coat.
  • Add onions, cover and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions reach a deep, golden brown color. This should take about 25 minutes, but will depend on how thinly the onion is sliced.
  • Remove the caramelized onions and add water to skillet, scraping up any brown bits that may have formed.
  • Bring water to rapid boil and gradually whisk in grits, *making sure* to prevent any clumps from forming.
  • Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cook until grits are thickened, approximately five minutes, adding more water if necessary. Note: For thicker consistency, I cook the grits for 7 minutes total.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the caramelized onions.
  • Crumble in goat cheese and stir to combine.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley.
  • Note: Servings are estimated.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon. The grits were still very flavorful.

I'm allergic to goat cheese, so I used feta instead. It was still delicious!
