COUNTRY HAM WITH RED-EYE GRAVY AND CREAMY GRITS
SERVES 4
4 1/2 cups whole milk, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Coarse salt
Freshly ground white pepper
2 cups quick white grits
1-pound fresh ham steak, (not cooked) either one large steak or 2 (1/2 pound) steaks
1 cup strong coffee
In a saucepan, over medium heat, add the milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the liquid to a boil. Whisk in the grits. Stir constantly for 6 minutes or until tender, adding more milk, if necessary.
Set aside and keep warm. Heat a skillet over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the ham and sear for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the ham from the pan and set aside. Stir in the coffee. Bring the liquid to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Cut ham into pieces. Divide grits evenly between plates. Serve with ham and gravy.
