Southern-inspired Savory Coconut Grits

There’s nothing quite like a warm bowl of grits—creamy, comforting, and full of flavor. My Savory Southern-Inspired Coconut Grits take this classic dish to the next level, using rich coconut milk for a smooth, slightly nutty taste that pairs perfectly with savory add-ins.
You can make this recipe with either canned or homemade coconut milk. If you’re feeling adventurous, I encourage you to try making my Homemade Coconut Milk—it’s fresh, simple, and makes the grits even more decadent.
To boost the flavor, sauté veggies like green onion, mushrooms, garlic, and red bell pepper, then fold them into your grits for a hearty, flavor-packed dish. This version is not only delicious but also versatile enough to enjoy as a main meal or a flavorful side.
And if you’re in the mood to experiment, why not try my Popcorn Grits recipe? Yes—grits made from popcorn! It’s a fun and creative twist that brings new life to a Southern staple.
