    Let's Get Started:

    1. Bring 4 cups water to a rapid boil in a heavy saucepan (you may start with 3 cups and add the 4th as needed while cooking—this may reduce cook time but will require a closer eye and more stirring).

    2. Add 1 tsp salt and 2 Tbsp butter.

    3. Add 1 cup grits and stir well until the water boils again.

    4. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and continue cooking for about 25 minutes, stirring often and adding water if needed.

    Cheese Pairing

    Parmigiano-Reggiano’s savory umami lifts Guinea Flint’s earthy, heirloom-corn complexity.

    Finish

    Stir in 1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, 2 Tbsp cream, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Garnish with cracked black pepper.
