Vegetarian Slumgullion and Cheesy Chive Grits

September 3, 2011 by athomewithrebecka 4 Comments


Chive Slumgullion
 
It's Veggie Revival Side Dish Week at Real Women of Philadelphia and Paula Deen's Cookbook Challenge. For this weeks challenge I've revived one of my favorite family recipes by adding a bed of Cheesy Chive Grits.
 
Slumgullion is Cookery Slang that describes an inexpensive stew or a mixture of ground meats and veggies browned in a skillet. You may know this dish by other more common names such as Mulligan stew or Irish stew. Slumgullion has a very old and diverse history. Famous authors, John Muir, and Mark Twain refer to Slumgullion with distaste because it was generally made by the impoverished. My Slumgullion is a vegetarian version based on my mother’s recipe. The intense flavors of dill, red pepper flakes and chive married with the addition of grits bring a new twist to old tradition.  
  • Prep time: 10 minutes
  • Cook time: 15 minutes
