Green Grits

Ingredients for Green Grits

• 350ml whole milk

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoons fresh-ground black pepper

• 1 cup grits

• 1 heaping cup fresh coriander leaves

• One 110g can diced green chillies (preferably Hatch brand, fire-roasted)

• 6 spring onions, chopped (about 110g )

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 110g grated sharp cheddar cheese

• 30g grated Parmesan cheese

Combine the milk and 600ml water in a medium-sized pot, and bring the mixture up to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Mix in the salt and pepper. Then whisk in the grits, pouring them in slowly and whisking continuously until they're smooth, with no lumps. The grits should look a little like oatmeal, only finer.

Turn the heat down to medium-low and keep cooking, whisking regularly so nothing sticks.

Meanwhile, combine the coriander leaves, diced green chillies, and spring onions in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds or so, until everything is finely chopped.

When the grits have cooked through and thickened, pull the pot off the heat and add the coriander mixture. Whisk everything together so the grits turn green. Then add the butter and whisk again, so the butter melts in.

Whisk in the grated cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Serve it up hot.
