GRITS AND GREENS
This weeknight dinner is the perfect homey and rustic dish. Quick-cooking grits become extra flavorful because they are simmered in vegetable stock and get a creamy bite from the combination of milk and sharp Cheddar that's stirred in once the grits are tender. Using both collard greens and Swiss chard lends more interesting and varied tastes and textures. Because the leaves are cooked just until wilted, apple cider vinegar is added at the end to help balance out any bitterness. A little hot sauce splashed on just before serving helps tie the entire dish together, awakening the flavors in both the greens and grits.

Steps:
- Make the grits: In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable stock and 2 cups water over medium-high until boiling. Once boiling, slowly pour in the grits while whisking to reduce lumps. Once the grits come to a boil, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, whisking frequently, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the stove. Season the grits with the pepper, then stir in the milk and cheese until the cheese melts. Season to taste with salt. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, make the greens: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high. Add the shallot and garlic, and cook, stirring often, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the red-pepper flakes, collards and chard. Toss to combine until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt, add the vegetable stock and bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, and season again to taste with salt and pepper. Divide the grits among plates and top with the greens and a dash of hot sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Grease a 2 quart souffle dish well and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese around the sides and bottom of the dish.
- Cook the grits in the milk with the salt until done. Add the pepper, cayenne, butter, cheese, and egg yolks to the grits. Stir well and let cool.
- Whip the egg whites until stiff and carefully fold into the grits mixture. Pour into the prepared souffle dish and bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
Tips:
- For the smoked rib-eye, use a good quality steak that is at least 1-inch thick. Season the steak generously with salt and pepper before smoking.
- Smoke the steak over indirect heat at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare.
- While the steak is smoking, make the white gravy. In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream.
- For the collard greens, wash the greens thoroughly and remove the tough stems. Chop the greens and add them to a pot with chicken broth, bacon, and onion. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the greens are tender.
- For the grits souffle, whisk together grits, milk, eggs, butter, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until the souffle is golden brown and puffed.
