Do you love corn on the cob? Then you may want to try our Grilled Sweet Corn Ricotta Grits. We added ricotta and olive oil to our Quaker® Old Fashioned Standard Grits for a change of pace from traditional side dishes that pairs well with grilled meats. You can even substitute frozen corn making this a year-round addition to your dinner table.

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 1

    Preheat the grill to medium (about 400°F).

  • 2

    Rub corn with 1 tsp olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt & cracked black pepper.

  • 3

    Grill corn for 7 minutes, turning every few minutes, until ear is lightly browned.

  • 4

    Remove from grill and let cool. Carefully cut corn kernels from the cob and transfer to a bowl.

  • 5

    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.

  • 6

    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.
