Fig Balsamic Butter Grits

by Cara Gambini
Fig Balsamic Butter Grits - Texas Hill Country Olive Co.

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. In a small saucepan, bring the balsamic to a boil, then turn heat to low.
  2. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until reduced by a third. Cool to room temperature.
  3. Combine cooled balsamic reduction and butter in the bowl of a food processor and puree until well combined.
  4. Measure grits into a small bowl and add enough cold water to cover. Let stand 5 minutes and drain off as much water as possible (It’s ok if there’s a little left).
  5. Combine the 2 1/2 cups water, cream and salt over high heat and bring to a rolling boil.
  6. Pour the grits into the water while continuously whisking. Continue boiling and whisking for about 2 minutes until the grits begin to thicken. Turn heat to low and continue to simmer, stirring often with a wooden spoon, for 20-25 minutes until grits are tender and as thick as oatmeal.
  7. Stir in the olive oil and divide into 2 bowls. Drizzle liberally with balsamic butter and top with chopped pecans.

Remaining balsamic butter will keep in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.
