Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Steam or boil the cauliflower florets until they are very tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Drain the cooked cauliflower well. You want it as dry as possible.
  3. Place the cooked cauliflower, vegetable broth, and milk into a food processor or high-powered blender.
  4. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and resembles the texture of creamy grits. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  5. Transfer the pureed mixture to a small saucepan over medium heat.
  6. Add the butter, salt, and pepper. Stir until the butter melts completely.
  7. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it is fully melted and incorporated, creating a smooth, cheesy sauce.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes more, stirring constantly, until heated through.
  9. Serve immediately in warm bowls.

Notes

  • Chef Tariq suggests using fresh cauliflower for the best texture and flavor.
  • If the grits are too thick, add a splash more milk or broth until you reach your preferred consistency.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg before serving.
  • Ensure you blend the cauliflower thoroughly; no lumps should remain for the best ‘grits’ texture.
