Jalapeno Cheese Grits Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch casserole or baking pan, and set aside. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and cornmeal, and bring to a simmer, reducing the heat if necessary. Cook, stirring, for about 10 to 15 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat, and stir in cheese, butter, hot sauce, jalapeños, green chiles, and garlic salt. Add beaten eggs and stir thoroughly to combine. Pour mixture into buttered baking dish. Bake for about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter a 2-quart oven-safe dish.
• Cut the top off of the garlic head to expose the garlic. Put the head on a piece of aluminum and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and close. Place the garlic into the oven and roast until soft, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and open to cool slightly before using.
• Bring the chicken stock, 1 1/2 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt to a rolling boil in a large pot over high heat. Add the grits and stir well with a whisk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Add the eggs while whisking quickly, and fold in 3 tablespoons of the roasted garlic, the cheeses, jalapenos, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and white pepper. Once the grits are thoroughly combined and smooth, transfer to the prepared baking dish and cover with foil.
• Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes, then remove foil and cook 10 minutes longer to brown the top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook the grits according to the directions on the back of the package (usually between 5-10 minutes), whisking the whole time to avoid lumps.
• Remove from the heat and add next 6 ingredients (cheddar through chilies).
• Stir well and season with garlic salt, to taste.
• Pour into a buttered 9x9-inch baking dish and bake for 1 hour.
• Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• For the grits: Combine the 3 cups water, the milk, 1 tablespoon of the butter, the salt and pepper in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring the liquid to a gentle boil. Stir in the grits. Cook for 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The grits will stick to the bottom of the pan, so make sure not to scrape the bottom of the pan. If the grits absorbed all of the water, add some hot water to thin out the grits. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the cheese and jalapeno peppers. The grits can either be served immediately or prepared in advance and reheated.
• For the lobster: Rub the lobster meat with the garlic, oil and butter and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Grill, body-side down at first, until cooked three-quarters of the way through; flip and grill meat-side down. Remove from the grill and squeeze over the lime juice.
• For the cioppino: Heat the olive oil in a saucepan until just about to the smoking point; quickly add the garlic, tomatoes and red pepper flakes. Saute until the garlic becomes translucent. Add the clams, cook for 2 minutes, then add the shrimp and the wine immediately after. Simmer until the shrimp and clams are halfway cooked, then add the butter, crab claws and knuckle meat and the lionfish. Cover and simmer until the fish is barely cooked through; season with salt and black pepper, and finish with the basil, parsley, mint and a spritz of fresh lemon juice.
• Reheat the grits, if needed, and place 2 cups grits into a large, deep platter. Arrange the cioppino around the grits, and garnish with the grilled lobster. Serve.

Steps:

• 1. Heat 4 cups of water in a large heavy-bottomed pot over high heat until it comes to a boil. Slowly pour in the grits while whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, for about 20 minutes.
• 2. While the grits are cooking, pan-roast the jalapeño pepper in a small skillet over high heat until the skin is brown and blistered. Cut the pepper in half lengthwise and remove the skin and the seeds from the pepper and discard. Mince the flesh and add it to the pot of grits.
• 3. Remove the pot from the heat and fold in the butter, mascarpone, and Edam cheese. Season with salt.

Steps:

• Bring water and salt to rapid boil.
• Add grits, reduce heat, and cook until grits are thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
• Stir in butter and Velveeta cheese until melted.
• Mix eggs, milk, and black pepper together, and then add to the grits mixture.
• Stir in the chopped jalapenos.
• Pour into casserole dish.
• Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until set in a 300 degree oven.
• Sprinkle Jack cheese on top, and return to the oven for 15 more minutes.
