  1. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan on medium heat
  2. Add farine, followed by salt, pepper and nutritional yeast and mix together well (about 1 minute)
  3. Then add the coconut milk and stir until the mixture thickens but is not dry (about 2 minutes)
  4. Remove from the heat, then add coconut cream and stir to combine
  5. Add the ghee just before serving and mix well or you can add a bit of ghee to individual portions

Notes

Do not overcook or it will become mushy. Farine grits thicken as it cools, if it becomes too thick before you are ready to serve add ½ cup of hot coconut milk to the grits and mix together well, then serve immediately
