Warm ceramic soup spoons in a 200° oven for 10 minutes before assembling.
Ingredients:
1 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup half-and-half
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup uncooked regular grits
1/2 cup (2 oz.) freshly shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
8 large fresh collard green leaves
2 small dry spanish chorizo sausage links (about 2 3/4 oz.)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
36 porcelain tasting spoons, warmed
Directions:
1. Bring first 3 ingredients and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat; gradually whisk in grits. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until thickened. Whisk in Cheddar cheese and next 4 ingredients, whisking constantly until cheese melts. Keep warm.
2. Rinse collard greens. Trim and discard thick stems from bottom of collard green leaves (about 2 inches). Stack collard greens on a cutting board. Tightly roll up leaves, and thinly slice into 1/8-inch strips. Quarter chorizo lengthwise, and cut into small pieces.
3. Sauté chorizo in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Add collard greens, vinegar, and sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until greens are bright green and just tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Place about 1 Tbsp. grits onto each warm spoon, and top with collard mixture. Serve immediately.
