Good ol’ grits, known in other parts of the world as polenta, may seem like slow food, but they’re fast! And I’m not talking about that polenta-like substance sold in the tubes. Look for coarse grained cornmeal grits (also known as polenta), organic if you can find it. Bob’s Red Mill sells it in 2 lb. bags and you can also find it in a heathy food store’s bulk area. For cooking, I like a ratio of 1 cup polenta to 4 cups boiling, salted water. When it’s done cooking and off the heat, add your butter, olive oil, and/or cheese to make it extra tasty. So many things taste great on top of it, spicy shrimp being an excellent choice!
I absolutely love the Peri Peri sauce from Wildly Delicious! You can buy it at Olivelle here in Bozeman, Williams-Sonoma San Francisco, or find a store near you on their website. If you can’t find it, just pass the Tabasco.
