Step 1
To fully bring out the flavor of barley grits, they should first be dry-roasted in a skillet until they change color—that is, they should darken slightly and turn brownish. While the grits are roasting, put salted water in a saucepan on the stove to bring to a boil.

Step 2
When the water boils, start gradually adding the porridge, constantly stirring to prevent the grains from clumping. Keep stirring it with a spoon. Then cover the porridge with a lid, reduce the heat to minimum, and let it simmer.

Step 3
Cook the grain until the water has completely evaporated and been absorbed. Taste the porridge for salt, and if needed, add a little more. Then add a piece of butter and cover with a lid again.

Step 4
After five minutes, open the lid and stir the porridge so it is fully mixed with the butter. Serve the porridge hot or warm with meat or fish dishes.
