"Grits ain't groceries." -Titus Turner, R & B Singer

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a fabulous riff on polenta (grits for those of us who live in the South). The savory sage really complements the smoky gouda.

Servings: 2 | Serving size: about 1/2 cup cooked grits

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

This recipe can easily be multiplied or halved. The leftovers can be cut into 2 inch squares, seared & served as polenta cakes.

Smoked Gouda Polenta recipe from Dr. Gourmet

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup yellow corn polenta (yellow grits)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried sage
  • 1 ounce smoked gouda cheese (grated)

Place the water in a medium sauce pan over high heat.

When the water boils reduce the heat to medium-high and slowly add the polenta. Stir continuously while adding the polenta.

Add the salt and dried sage and stir.

Reduce the heat to medium and cook the polenta for about 12 minutes, stirring to keep the polenta from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Add the gouda and stir until well blended, then serve.
