Ingredients:

• 3 cups of vegetable broth
• 1 cup unflavored oat milk
• 1 cup slow cooked grits
• 1 tbsp. smoked paprika
• 1 tbsp. light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp. vegan butter
• Tastic spice, to taste
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 bunch greens (kale, spinach or chard) chopped

Directions:

1. Put the broth and oat milk in a medium saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Uncover and slowly add the grits, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the grits have thickened and cooked through. Add the smoked paprika, brown sugar, and vegan butter. Season with Tastic spice.

2. Meanwhile, make the greens: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When it shimmers, add the garlic and greens and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the greens have wilted. Season with Tastic spice.

3. Spoon the grits into bowls. Top with greens and serve.
