Grits and greens


This was surprisingly delicious. We had some sad-looking greens (I really don't remember what sort at this point... looks like kale maybe?), some tofu, and some mushrooms that needed eating. How to make something edible out of this?  We decided that maybe a pile of cheesy grits under the greens would be a good idea.  We were right!  Quite simple, really - we had a tub of Quaker corn meal, and there's a recipe on the side for "cornmeal mush".  Ok, let's make some mush: 

Boil 3C water
Add 1C cornmeal and a hefty pinch of salt to another cup of water
Pour that mixture into the boiling water
Turn down the heat, stir, and cook for 5-10 minutes until it's nice and thick
Add things to make it taste good - cheese, butter, more salt

Cook your veggies, I recommend lemon and salt if you're sauteeing kale. Dump on top. Wolf down, because you're starving, and this sort of dish really only tastes delicious when you're starving.

I don't really know how we made the tofu. Looks baked. That's a good idea, I'm going to bake some tofu next time.
