List of Ingredients
Serves 4 or 5
4 ears fresh corn on the cob
1 small yellow onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
� stick butter
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup Quaker Golden quick grits
Water or chicken stock
Salt and Cajun seasoning
Remove husk from corn and roast on grill. (Or, soak the corn in its husk in water for a while, then roast the whole ear in the husk, on a grill or in the oven. Once the corn is done, the silk is very easy to remove.) Remove the corn from the cob. Lightly chop the corn.
Melt butter in a large skillet and saute the onions until soft. After a few minutes, add garlic and cook until both are softened.
With water or chicken stock, prepare the grits according to the package directions, using a little less liquid because you will add cream when almost ready.
When the grits are almost done, add the corn kernels, the sauteed onions and garlic, and cream. Simmer for about 5 minutes, or longer, until thickened. Season with salt and Cajun seasoning.
Here's a simpler version, also from a local cook who put it on the Internet.
