Garlic Parmesan Cheese Grits

Ingredients

· 2 tablespoons plus 1 tablespoon butter, preferably unsalted, divided

· 1/2 cup finely chopped onions

· 2 large cloves garlic, minced

· 1 cup stone ground organic grits

· 3-4 cups chicken broth

· Salt and pepper to taste

· 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Heat chicken broth in a large saucepan over medium heat until it reaches a boil, whisk in the grits cover and reduce heat to medium low. Stirriing occasionally and breaking up any lumps that form. Continue cooking until grits are thickened, about 25 minutes. (You do not want this too thick, so add a little broth if needed.)

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl to coat bottom of pan. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until slightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Add the onions and garlic to the grits and stir in the cheese, 1 tablespoon of butter, more salt and lots of freshly ground pepper. Serve immediately. Makes 8-10 servings.
