Miso grits

Turns out grits are just corn meal!

Get:
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1 cup coarse-ground (if you can) cornmeal
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tsp miso paste
Do:
  • Bring the milk, water, and salt to a boil.
  • Whisk in the cornmeal, gradually, trying to avoid huge lumps. It gets crazy lumpy anyway but this will take care of itself gradually.
  • Reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until it becomes "creamy". Whisk every 3-4 minutes to help break up lumps and keep it from sticking to the sides.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small pan and heat at medium, until it starts to brown and you see brown flakes.
  • Remove butter from heat and stir in the miso paste until you have "miso butter". Yes this is a thing, starting today.
  • When the grits are done, remove from heat, let them cool a bit, and stir in the miso butter until it's well incorporated. You may also add pepper.
