Creamy Grits Rice Cooker Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the cream, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 3 cups water to a simmer in a medium pot. While whisking, slowly pour in the grits. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the grits are tender and creamy, about 20 minutes. Serve topped with a pat of butter.

Steps:

• To make the grits, I use a rice cooker. I put the grits and water in the rice cooker with a pinch of salt, and push the button. Once the grits are cooked, season to taste with more salt and pepper, and stir in the cheese, butter, and heavy cream. Keep the grits warm in the rice cooker or the pan.

Steps:

• HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN RICE GRITS: Although you can order Carolina Gold Rice Grits online you can also make your own. "To do so, freeze your favorite good-quality long-grain rice (I bought organic standard long grain white rice) for 30 minutes to make it brittle. Then, working in batches, grind it a few times in a spice mill until the grains are very coarsely ground into rough, uneven pieces about a third of the original grain's size. Transfer the mixture to a medium strainer set over a bowl to sift out the "dust," then use the remaining pieces in any recipe that calls for rice grits." CG says ^^this step was easier said than done. My version was much easier: after removing the rice from the freezer I ground the rice to the same consistency as regular (corn) grits that they were virtually identical in appearance except for those little black specks in corn grits. If you don't know what traditional grits look like, go to Google and search for an image to guide you. I skipped the strainer part, too. (Uh, CG -- I must ask -- Isn't this in essence Cream of Rice™? Yes, but it's glorified Cream of Rice™, I answer!).
• Mix tomatoes and shallot in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste; set aside.
• Bring 12 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan.
• Stir in grits and season with salt. Reduce heat to medium; simmer grits until almost tender, about 15 minutes.
• Drain, reserving 2 cups cooking liquid; return liquid and grits to saucepan. Another Note: because of the manner in which I ground the rice there was no liquid left to drain. I cooked the rice as indicated in Step # above, then another 5-6 minutes as directed in the following Step.
• Stir over medium heat until creamy, 5-6 minutes.
• Add cheese and butter; stir to melt. Stir in lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients into rice cooker bowl and stir to combine. Set to porridge cycle.

Steps:

• Bring the milk and water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the salt. Slowly add the grits, stirring constantly. When the grits begin to thicken, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent the grits from scorching. Add the butter and cream, stirring to incorporate thoroughly, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the pepper. Serve the grits immediately or keep them warm, covered, in a double boiler over simmering water.
• Note: If the grits are too thick, stir in more cream or milk. Remember that grits solidify as they cool; they will get thicker once on the plates.

Steps:

• Spray a skillet with cooking spray. Add corn kernels and cook over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the broth, milk and salt to a boil. Gradually whisk in grits. Reduce heat to low; cook, uncovered, for 25 minutes or until grits become thick, stirring frequently. , Stir in the cheeses, white pepper, cayenne and nutmeg if desired. Serve hot.
