Grits And Greens

Whether you’re new to grits or you’re a longtime fan, this simple tomato, kale, and pinto bean topping served over creamy grits has everything you need for a superb family meal. Heap these Southern home-style greens over grits for a satisfying supper. Don’t forget to add a splash of hot sauce and a squeeze of lemon.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 32-oz. carton low-sodium vegetable broth
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1½ cups dry instant grits
• 1 medium onion, chopped (1 cup)
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
• 2 14.5-oz. cans no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1 15-oz. can no-salt-added red or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
• 1 16-oz. package frozen cut leaf kale
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• Hot sauce (optional)
• Lemon wedges (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large saucepan bring vegetable broth and 1 clove garlic to boiling. Stir in grits; reduce heat. Cover and cook about 5 minutes or until grits are thickened and creamy, stirring occasionally. (Mixture will splatter. Use a long-handle spoon to avoid burns.) If needed, add up to ½ cup water to thin to desired consistency.
2. Meanwhile, in an extra-large skillet cook the remaining 3 cloves garlic, the onion, and bell pepper over medium 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 Tbsp. at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add tomatoes, beans, paprika, and crushed red pepper (if using); bring to boiling. Gradually add kale, cooking until all kale has wilted. Stir in vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper.
3. Spoon greens over grits. If desired, serve with hot sauce and lemon wedges.
