Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white stone ground grits
  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic – microplaned
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt + more to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the adobo sauce, salt, paprika and garlic and set aside
  2. Use a heavy bottom pot, and bring the milk and butter to a slow boil while stirring. Whisk in the grits and turn heat down to low. Cook until soft occasionally stirring to avoid burning about 10-12 minutes
  3. Add water a few tablespoons at a time if they stop steaming and become too thick. Taste to make sure they are soft
  4. Fold in the grated cheese with a spatula until melted, then fold in the seasoning mixture
  5. Taste and add more adobo sauce and/or salt to taste
