Grits

Millet grits are coarsely broken millet kernels cooked into a polenta-like porridge—hearty, mild, and gluten-free. Texture sits between fine flour porridge and whole-grain pilaf. Toast before simmering for deeper flavour. Cook with water or stock, stirring as they thicken. Serve soft as a side or firmer, cooled and seared. Season boldly; millet is a quiet canvas.
