Recipe Directions

Directions

  • Cook corn grits per package instructions, in water and a little salt. Stir occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking. Set aside when done.
  • While corn grits are cooking, chop all the vegetables and add them to a non-stick pan over low medium heat. Add all the seasoning, mix, and sauté for about 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of water if the vegetables are sticking to the pan.
  • Add the black beans and sauté for another 5 minutes.
  • Serve the grits with the vegetables and top with cilantro. Enjoy!
