Southern Style GRITS with a twist

[buford354]

Miss UMPA,

     This morning I had GRITS,eggs and bacon for breakfast REALLY.

     From another blog I got this product and brought a can home.

     Juanita's Foods "Mexican Style Hominy"

This is what I did::

1. Drained the liquid out into a strainer.
2. Placed the hominy on paper towels and patted them dry as possible
3. Into oven at 200 deg. for 15 minutes to further dry them out.
4. Into food processor , pulsing until near consistence of grits
5. pan fried half half cup with Tsp bacon grease, butter, salt and pepper.
6. Mixed half cup hominy and boiling water to cover, then add the
    same fixings from above.

Pan fried close but no ring.
Boiled closer.

If you did the Southern Fried egg trick (Over easy on top of a pile
of grits and cut up, you know the fried egg/grits yellow plate breakfast)
 , I think it would pass for the real thing. Still working on it though.

So , I will ask the master to have a go at it , if you would be so kind.

We both know grits without fixin's are as close to glue as you can legally
eat with a fork or spoon.

OBTW--Can says::

Total Carbs 10gr
Fiber 6gr
This would be 4gr net I believe
I am going to call them Monday to verify that count.

My testers one spoon only--MissyBelle BOO-HISS

Hi Buford

I'm a bit confused... which happens easily..LOL  How many servings are in the can?  This is what I found at Walmart  http://www.walmart.com/ip/Juanita-s-Foods-Mexican-Style-Hominy-2.97-kg/10453028#Ingredients

I thought hominy was very much like corn which is very high in carbs/starch/sugar.  Here is a link to the carb count I found.  http://www.carb-counter.org/cereal/search/Hominy/2000   Maybe I have the wrong stuff?  I was thinking to.... isn't the traditional grits made with hominy anyway? I wonder if the label on this can is misleading  hmmm

Miss Toosweet,

     You are 100% correct there seems to be a difference in the
carb counts even between their website and the can I am currently
holding in my hand. I even got out my magnifying glass to zero
in on the numbers on the can::

Here they are reading right off the can::

Total Carbohyrates ==10grams
Total Fiber=6 grams

If this holds true it would be great however when in doubt, find out
I'll be calling and/or emailing for the correct amounts as soon as they
open in California tomorrow.

Hold your breathe GRITS might make a comeback.

If not well I bought one can for testing only.

Our Best to you and yours,

Buford, my grits recipe is really simple and very low carb....

1- "rice" raw cauliflower through your food processor grater blade
2- saute in a nonstick skillet with salted butter, heavy cream a bit of salt and pepper and a tablespoon of cream cheese till thickened
3- plate and put 2-3 poached eggs on top

OPTION- pour on some sausage gravy over the top;

1- fry some crumbled low carb breakfast sausage in a non stick skillet
2- when the sausage is cooked through add a enough heavy cream to the skillet to give you an adequate amount of gravy
3- Be sure to stir constantly while adding the cream
4- when done crack some black pepper into the mix and stir



Umpa would also put a couple teaspoons of FIFTY-50 grape jelly into the mix  but I prefer it without.
