Cheesy upma grits

Standard

Since I am living in the south, I decided to try making southern food. However, I was lacking several ingredients for normal run of the mill grits, so I made it up as I went.

4 c milk

1 tbsp jamaican jerk sauce

1 tbsp minced garlic

1/2 tsp marjoram

2 c. Roasted rava

1 tsp salt (to taste)

Large dollop sour cream

1.5 c shredded cheddar cheese

cashews

In a large pot, bring the milk, jerk, garlic, and marjoram to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Slowly add rava, stirring to avoid lumps. Continue to cook on low heat, stirring occasionally to keep it from sticking to the pan. As the rava starts to thicken, add sour cream and cheese. Stir until melted. Add salt to taste. Continue cooking over low heat until desired consistency is reached. Add more milk if needed. Serve with a handful of cashews on top. Have seconds. It’s that good.
