Sweet Pecan Hominy Grits
If you haven’t cooked hominy grits yet because you’re not too fond of what you’ve been served in restaurants, now’s the time to try them. This recipe is a sure fire winner with kids and adults alike. The pecans had me sold right away. Guaranteed to please!
2 cups water
2 cups skim milk
1 cup hominy
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons margarine
2 tablespoons pecans, toasted and chopped, but not too much
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Place the water and milk into the top part of a double boiler. Carefully stir in the hominy and the salt. Being sure to stir constantly cook for 5 minutes or until the hominy begins to thicken. This can also be done in a single saucepan over very low heat.) After 5 minutes place the lid on the double boiler and continue cooking 45 minutes or until the hominy has become thick. If they become too thick add a little water. Stir in the butter. Sprinkle the top with the pecans and brown sugar just before serving.
