Ok, here is the stew. Thanks again for doing this.

Pork stew with Creamy Corn Grits

I created this dish one weekend when I was sick and cold. For me, it is the very definition of “comfort food”. It is inexpensive and uncomplicated. It is warm, a little spicy, and very filling. Slow cooking is an easy way to make food incredible. The pork falls apart gently, and the vegetables melt in your mouth.
The grits are like velvet. They are good on their own but paired with the stew they are amazing. I really like how the corn caramelizes in them. You cannot cut corners by using quick or instant grits. You must use old fashioned grits to get the right texture. You want them to be very thick to hold up to the stew. I love this dish warmed over the next day even better than the day I make it. Anyway, I hope you like this as it is truly one of our house favorites. Enjoy!
