• 3/4 cup quick-cooking grits, uncooked

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 2 Tbsp packed brown sugar

  Greens:

• 1 bunch of chard

• 1 clove of garlic

• 1 Tbsp olive oil

Tools Needed

Steps:

Orange Grits

1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring water and orange juice to a boil.

2. Grate 1/2 tsp of orange peel.

3. Slowly stir in the grits, orange peel, and salt. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally 3 to 4 minutes until thickened.

4. Pour into serving dishes and sprinkle with brown sugar. Let stand until sugar melts, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Greens

1. Wash the greens thoroughly, using the colander to drain. Remove stems and tear leaves into 1-inch strips.

2. Mince garlic. Add oil to a large saucepan over low heat. When oil is hot, add minced garlic to pan and cook until fragrant.

3. Place greens in the saucepan and saute until wilted, for 5 to 7 minutes. Add a splash of vinegar before serving if preferred.
