Grits and Greens image

This is a recipe my aunt has been making for years. I'm not sure where the recipe came from, but it's a southern breakfast to a tee!! It also makes a good side dish for supper.

Time 12m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup quick-cooking grits
6 tablespoons butter
1 lb collard greens or 1 lb mustard greens (just one or any combination)
1 1/2 cups freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the milk and the cream in a heavy pan and heat to just under a boil.
  • Stir in the grits and cook 5-10 minutes, stirring often to prevent scorching.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stir in 2 T of the butter.
  • In the meantime, place the greens, still wet from washing, in a large skillet.
  • Cook them with the rest of the butter over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until thoroughly wilted.
  • Add the greens to the grits.
  • Stir in the parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Can be served as is, or you can pour in a greased casserole dish and top with a little more cheese, then broil.
  • (I suggest the latter).
