Creamy Grits with Tomato Gravy and Greens image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup grits
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Collards, for serving, recipe follows
2 large bunches collards, homegrown or from the produce section, rinsed well
1/2 pound cured ham hock or salt pork
1/2 cup salt, for brine (optional, see Cook's Note below)
Buttermilk cornbread, for serving
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • For the grits: Bring the milk and salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the grits, stirring with a fork to prevent any lumps from forming. Once the grits have started to thicken, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • For the tomato gravy: Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until it shimmers. Add the grape tomatoes, sugar and garlic and cook until the tomatoes start to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter; let melt. Stir in flour and cook until starting to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in the broth, tomato paste, salt and pepper until smooth. Continue cooking until the mixture comes to a boil; it will thicken as it heats. When thick like a gravy, remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
  • Serve the warm grits in shallow bowls, topped with tomato gravy and collard greens.
  • Prepare the collards for cooking by cutting the large stems from the center of the leaves. Stack the leaves and cut them crosswise into 1-inch strips
  • Put 2 inches of water in a saucepan large enough to hold the raw collards (the leaves can be pushed down tightly and will wilt to about one-quarter volume as they cook). Add the ham hock or pork and bring the water to a boil. Add the collards and toss with tongs until the water returns to a boil and the leaves wilt down into the pan. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, or until tender. Stir occasionally, checking to be sure there is enough liquid to prevent scorching. Taste the liquid and add salt if needed. Serve with buttermilk cornbread and hot sauce.

GRITS AND GREENS



Grits and Greens image

This recipe calls for stone ground grits...I usually get them at the farmers market or at the seafood festival. You can substitute regular grits. Another option to reduce the fat and calorie count is to substitute turkey bacon or turkey ham to sprinkle on top of the dish. This dish is equally at home as a breakfast dish or as a side dish. Cooking time does not include the time to cook the bacon.

Time 42m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup whipping cream
32 ounces chicken stock, divided
1 cup stone-ground grits
1/2 of a 1 lb package of chopped fresh collard greens
1/4 cup butter
1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Steps:

  • Combine whipping cream and 3 cups chicken stock in a large saucepan; bring to a boil. Gradually stir in grits. Cook over medium heat until mixture returns to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 25 minutes, or until creamy.
  • While grits cook, pour remaining 1 cup chicken stock into a large skillet; add greens. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until greens are tender and stock is absorbed.
  • Add butter, cheese, and pepper to the grits, stirring well. Stir in cooked greens. Cook 1 minute or until grits and greens are thoroughly heated and the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with crumbled bacon, and serve immediately.
