Fried Grits Cakes with Sausage

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6

Ingredients

1 pound hot bulk sausage
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup stone-ground yellow grits
Vegetable oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the sausage and orange zest, stirring to break up the sausage. Sauté until browned and then drain; set aside.

    Step 2

    In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Slowly stir in the grits. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir the sausage into the grits. Spread the mixture in a 13 × 9-inch baking pan to cool, then refrigerate until well chilled. Cut the chilled grits into squares and sauté in vegetable oil until crisp and browned on both sides.
