How to Make Garlic Grits
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and softened but not browned.
- Pour in 4 cups of water and add 1 teaspoon of salt and a dash of Tabasco sauce (start with 1/4 teaspoon and adjust to your spice preference). Bring to a simmer.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of coarse ground grits. Continue whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Once the grits are well incorporated, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the grits have thickened to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. For extra flavor, top with a pat of butter or a sprinkle of cheese.
