[recipe] Green Chile Grits ~ vegan crockpot

[Guest guest]

These were very delicious. i am not from the south

and was never raised eating grits, but i liked these

very much with the spicy-zip of jalaps. When i made

this i poured the mixture into a small loaf pan to cool

and firm up. Then next morning i sliced and fried it

in margarine to serve with breakfast.

 

 

Green Chile Grits

Source: Chet Dat

 

2 cups regular grits

6 cups water

1/2 tsp paprika, optional

1/2 to 1 tsp salt

4 to 6 ounces chopped mild green chile

1 or more jalapeno chiles -- seeded, chopped fine

1 dash cayenne

 

Combine all ingredients in the crockpot and cook

on LOW for 6 to 9 hours or on HIGH 2 to 3 hours,

stirring occasionally.

 

If cooking on high, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup more water

if too thick.

 

Similar to polenta, you serve right away or you

can refrigerate the mixture in a buttered loaf

pan for a few hours or overnight, unmold, slice

(1/2-inch) and fry in butter until browned.

 

This recipe yields about 8 servings.

This is the treacherous month when autumn days

With summer's voice come bearing summer's gifts.

Beguiled, the pale down-trodden aster lifts

Her head and blooms again. The soft, warm haze

Makes moist once more the sere and dusty ways,

And, creeping through where dead leaves lie in drifts,

The violet returns. Snow noiseless sifts

Ere night, an icy shroud, which morning's rays

Willidly shine upon and slowly melt,

Too late to bid the violet live again.

The treachery, at last, too late, is plain;

Bare are the places where the sweet flowers dwelt.

What joy sufficient hath November felt?

What profit from the violet's day of pain?ÊÊÊ
