Directions

  1. Place the kale and basil in food processor and process until greens turn into paste, adding the water and scraping down the side until you have a smooth paste. Set aside.
  2. In medium sauce pan combine chicken stock, milk, grits, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, stir, cover pan and reduce heat to low. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 12-15 minutes. Turn heat off and let rest covered for 10 minutes.
