Summer Grit Casserole Cakes

Ingredients 4 cups chicken broth 3 cups milk 2 garlic cloves, grated 1 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste 2 cups Marsh Hen Mill grits (your choice) 1 large egg 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 4 Tbsp. salted butter, cubed and softened 3/4 tsp. ground black pepper, divided, plus more to taste Nonstick cooking spray 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Vegetable oil, for frying Chopped fresh chives, for serving Instructions In a large pot, bring the chicken broth, milk, garlic, and ½ teaspoon of salt to a simmer over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the grits. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 15–20 minutes (or per package directions). In a small bowl, beat the egg. Spoon ¼ cup of the hot grits into the egg, stirring constantly, then stir the egg mixture back into the pot. Stir in the cheese and butter until melted and combined. Add ½ teaspoon pepper and salt to taste. Spray a 13x9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Spoon in the grits, smoothing into an even layer. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface. Cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, then refrigerate until set — 3 hours, or up to 3 days ahead. Place the flour in a shallow dish and whisk in the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Using a 2- to 2½-inch round biscuit cutter, cut the grit cakes into rounds (or slice into 2-inch squares). Dredge in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess. In a large cast-iron skillet, add oil to cover the bottom by about ½ inch. Heat to 350°F over medium-high. Working in batches, cook the grit cakes without moving until golden on one side, 2–4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden, 2–3 minutes more. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt and chopped chives. Serve hot or warm.

Black Barley Salad

By: Charleen Badman | Originally published by the James Beard Foundation Ingredients: Vinaigrette: 1 clove garlic 1/3 cup lemon juice 1 tablespoon minced preserved lemon 2 teaspoons toasted ground cumin 1 teaspoon toasted ground coriander 1 teaspoon sea salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ½ teaspoon chipotle chile flakes 1 cup extra virgin olive oil Salad: ¾ cup Marsh Hen Mill Black Barley or pearled barley 3 asparagus spears, sliced on the bias 3 small heirloom carrots, sliced into thin rounds 2 spring onions, green and white parts sliced thin 1 small summer squash, sliced into thin rounds ½ bulb fennel, thinly sliced ½ cup chopped arugula, lightly packed ½ cup chopped heirloom tomatoes ½ cup roughly chopped parsley leaves, lightly packed ¼ cup chopped cilantro, lightly packed ¼ cup chopped mint, lightly packed Salt and pepper to taste Directions: Prepare the barley the night before: soak the grain overnight in cold water. Drain and place into a saucepan. Cover with enough cold water to rise a couple of inches above the grains. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the grains are tender, about 40 minutes, adding more water if necessary to keep the barley covered. Drain and rinse under cold water to remove any excess starch. Lay out on a half sheet tray or cookie sheet to cool and dry for 20 minutes. Make the vinaigrette: using a microplane, grate the garlic clove. Stir the garlic and the remaining ingredients besides the oil together in a small bowl. Let sit for at least 1 hour for the flavors to develop and the garlic to soften. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Toss the cooked barley with just enough of the vinaigrette in a large bowl to coat the grains. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the grains to absorb the dressing. Toss in the remaining salad ingredients. Taste and season with more dressing, salt, and pepper to taste. Yield: 8 servings *Cooking time may vary depending on the stove top and the conditions in the kitchen. Elevation and humidity affect cooking times.

Cornmeal Banana Muffins

Makes 10-12 muffins | No flour required. Ingredients 2 cups Guinea Flint Cornmeal (or Marsh Hen Mill Cornmeal) 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon (optional but great) 2 large ripe bananas, mashed 2 large eggs ⅓ cup melted butter or neutral oil ½ cup brown sugar or honey (adjust for sweetness) 1 tsp vanilla extract ¾ cup beer best choices: a wheat beer, lager, cream ale, or even a banana bread beer Optional Add-Ins ½ cup chopped pecans ½ cup chocolate chips ½ cup toasted coconut Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin or grease well. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter or oil, brown sugar (or honey), and vanilla. Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Gently stir in the beer until just combined. The batter will be loose - it firms up as the cornmeal hydrates. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to soften the cornmeal. Scoop into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 16-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cornmeal Scones

Golden, tender, and just a little bit Southern. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting 1/2 cup fine cornmeal 1/3 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced and cold 1 large egg yolk 1 cup heavy cream For Serving Your favorite jam Softened unsalted butter Kosher salt Directions In a large bowl, sift the flour and cornmeal through a fine-mesh sieve. Add any cornmeal that won't go through the sieve into the bowl along with the sugar, baking powder, salt, and ginger. Work the butter in with your fingers until the mixture resembles peas. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolk, then whisk in the cream. Pour the cream mixture on top of the dough and let it sit undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes to absorb into the dry ingredients. Mix gently to combine. The less you mix, the more tender they will be. Shape the dough into a loose ball. Lightly dust a surface with flour. Press the dough into a round disk 6 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Use a large knife to cut the dough into 6 wedges, like a pizza. Return the scones to the baking sheet, allowing some space between each. Place the tray in the center of the oven and bake until browned on top, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove and let cool for a few minutes before serving with jam, softened butter, and a pinch of salt.
