Grits

Grits are coarsely ground corn kernels that transform with heat into something entirely different from their raw form. This simple alchemy, requiring only salt and water, teaches a fundamental cooking lesson: patience and proper technique matter more than complexity. The Lowcountry tradition of cooking grits low and slow, stirring frequently to prevent lumps, builds a creamy base that's remarkably forgiving once you understand the method. Make them once this way and you'll recognize why they've sustained people for centuries.

Instructions

Bring water with salt to a boil then add grits; reduce heat and cover. occasionally stirring.

Cook approximately 15 minutes or until grits have desired consistency.
