Chorizo and Grits
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of stone-ground grits
- 4 cups of water
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 8 ounces of chorizo, casing removed and crumbled
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 1 cup of stone-ground grits and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grits are thick and creamy.
- While the grits are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper to the skillet with the chorizo. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Once the grits are ready, remove them from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
- To serve, spoon the creamy grits into bowls and top with the chorizo and vegetable mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions and enjoy!
