Method

Preparation

1

Cook the Butternut Squash

In a medium pot, bring the water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the diced butternut squash and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2

Prepare the Grits

In the same pot, bring the broth back to a boil. Gradually whisk in the corn grits, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring frequently until the grits are thick and creamy.

3

Combine Ingredients

Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter, salt, black pepper, and the cooked butternut squash. Mix until well combined.

4

Finish with Cheese and Sage

Remove the pot from heat and fold in the grated parmesan cheese and chopped sage. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

5

Serve

Spoon the butternut squash grits into bowls and garnish with additional sage and cheese if desired. Enjoy warm.
