Recipe for fried grits with ham. Grits are layered with good country ham, chilled, then cut and fried.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup grits
8 ounces country ham or other ham, finely chopped
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
6 tablespoons butter
PREPARATION:
Bring the water and half of the salt to a boil and stir in the grits. Cover and return to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until thickened.
Pour half the grits into a buttered loaf pan.

Sprinkle with the finely chopped ham then cover with the remaining grits. Cover and refrigerate for several hours, or overnight.
Mix the flour with the pepper and remaining salt. Lightly beat the eggs.

Slice the cold grits and ham into 8 to 12 slices. Dip each slice into flour mixture, then dip in the eggs, and back into the flour mixture.

Heat oil and butter in a large skillet; when hot, cook the grits slices, a few at a time, browning well on each side. Add more oil and butter to the pan as necessary.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
Serves 8.

I see another thread that's gone off course. So anyway....While my wife and I were talking to Chris Squire, at least three other people were taking pictures of us. I was wondering if anyone reading this is one of those and could they send me the pics at my E-mail? I posted some pics of other forumites with Squire on Paul's photo site and could send the full files to anyone who wants them.

I have at least one that I can send to you Dane. But I'll have to recruit the help of my lovely future bride. Hopefully this weekend.

Yeah, when I was talking to Chris, I never thought of getting a picture of it, I was just pleased to have a chance to thank him for his work. Anyone get one of me and he?

I don't remember who all I photographed with Chris but I posted the pics on Paul W's Rickefest site.
