Grits with Greens
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 6 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 pound broccoli rabe, thick stems removed
  • 1 cup white beans
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 lemons, juiced
  • 8 tablespoon salted butter
  • 4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
  • 2 cup polenta or grits
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • goat cheese crumbles
  • 4 fried eggs
  • chili oil
Directions
  1. In a medium pan, toast red pepper flakes over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat slightly and add half the olive oil, the shallots, and half the minced garlic. Cook until the shallots start to sizzle. Add the broccoli rabe and leave to wilt for 5 minutes, before stirring everything together. Add the white beans, half the lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir and remove from the heat.
  2. Melt the butter in a separate large pot with the remaining minced garlic. Just before the butter starts to bubble, add the stock, butter, and remaining lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Add the polenta and stir vigorously for 5 minutes until combined. Add salt to taste.
  3. Serve the grits in a bowl, topped with beans, greens, a fried egg, goat cheese crumbles, and chili oil.
