Eat These Any Time of Day

November 11, 2021

Rice grits, sometimes called broken rice or middlins, consist of the grains broken during milling. A poor peoples’ food for millennia in Asia, it’s more recent history here in America is interwoven with slavery. Enslaved rice growers from Africa created the lucrative Carolina rice trade, enslaved people pounded the grains to polish them, and enslaved people ate the broken rice deemed unfit for sale.

Rice grits cook up to a creamy consistency similar to grits, and like many of the cast-off foods poor people were forced to subsist on and make delicious, eventually became desirable. Today’s rice grits come from whole grains broken on purpose.

I wanted to add flavor with celeriac, one of my favorite vegetables, and, inspired by a technique from a Seattle restaurant, cooked the grits and root vegetable together in a savory broth.
Mix the rice grits and grated celeriac with the broth and gently bring it to a boil. Turn the heat down and keep a pan of hot water nearby. When the grits start to get thick, stir them frequently with a wooden spoon, scraping the bottom of the pan and adding hot water about ¼ cup at a time when they stick.
Keep cooking and adding water as needed until the rice is soft and creamy, about 25 minutes. Take it off the heat and blend in a little grated Parmigiano Reggiano and a splash of olive oil. Eat these any time of day, plain, with gravy, or anything saucy.
