Ingredients

1 cup of Quaker® Old Fashioned - Standard Grits, uncooked
2 cups water
2 cups low fat milk
1 fresh corn cob (*alternately 1 cup fresh or frozen corn can be sautéd on the stovetop)
3 tsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/3 cup part skim ricotta
3/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Cooking Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium (about 400°F).
Rub corn with 1 tsp olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt & cracked black pepper.
Grill corn for 7 minutes, turning every few minutes, until ear is lightly browned.
Remove from grill and let cool. Carefully cut corn kernels from the cob and transfer to a bowl.
In a medium saucepan, bring water and milk to a boil. Whisk in grits, then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer. Uncover and stir every few minutes until grits are thickened and creamy, about 15-20 minutes.
Remove grits from heat and fold in corn and garlic powder using a rubber spatula. Top with Ricotta, basil leaves, and drizzle with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
