Method
Cooking the Grits
Prepare the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the salt once the water is boiling.
Add the Grits
Slowly whisk in 1 cup of grits into the boiling water, reducing the heat to low immediately after.
Simmer
Continue to cook the grits on low heat, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes or until they are thick and creamy. Make sure to stir to prevent clumping.
Finishing Touches
Season
Add black pepper to taste and mix in the chopped green onions for added flavor and garnish.
Serve
Spoon the creamy grits into bowls and serve hot, optionally garnishing with extra green onions or cheese.
