  • step 1
    ingredients 2 tablespoons Canola Oil
    1 Snapper (Scaled and filleted; skin on 2 small filets; 3 to 4 ounces each)
    pinch of Salt and Pepper
    instructions For the Fish: In a cast iron pan heat a tablespoon of canola oil over very high heat.  Lightly season fish and place in pan skin side down.  Press the fish with a flat spatula holding it down with force so the skin doesn’t curl up.  After about 3 minutes the skin should be nice and crispy, flip the fish over and continue cooking for another 4 minutes until the fish is cooked completely.

    ingredients 3 Baby Organic Carrots (peeled and lightly blanched in water for 3 minutes)
    1 ear of Corn (cut off the cob)
    4 Brussel Sprout Heads (peel each leaf individually)
    2 Slow Roasted Tomatoes
    3 slices of Red Onion (an ounce)

    ingredients 1 Orange
    1 Lemon
    1 Lime
    3 tablespoons Olive Oil
    pinch of Salt and Pepper
    instructions For the Vinaigrette: Squeeze all the citrus into a bowl and add salt, pepper, oil and whisk.
  • step 4
    ingredients 1 cup Chicken Stock or Water
    1 cup Milk
    1/2 cup Yellow Stone Ground Grits
    instructions For the Grits: Bring stock and milk just to a simmer in a heavy saucepan. Meanwhile, cover grits with water in a large bowl and whisk vigorously. Let stand 30 seconds, then skim any chaff that has floated to surface with a fine-mesh sieve. Drain grits well in a fine-mesh sieve and whisk into simmering milk mixture.

    ingredients 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
    1 ounce Unsalted Butter
    1 teaspoon Salt
    1/8 teaspoon Pepper
    instructions Reduce heat to low and simmer grits, partially covered, stirring often with a heatproof rubber spatula, until grits are tender and thickened to the consistency of loose oatmeal, about an hour (stir more toward end of cooking to avoid scorching). If grits become too thick before they are tender and creamy, thin with milk or cream). Stir in cream, butter, and salt. Remove from heat and keep warm.
