Instructions
In a large pot bring the water to a boil. Next add the salt, cayenne pepper and butter.
Gradually add the grits to the boiling water using a whisk to prevent any lumps.
Lower the heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
While grits are simmering, pick meat from pork ribs and chop. Place in a small saucepan with BBQ sauce and cook on low for 10 minutes.
Gradually whisk the cheese a little at a time into the grits until completely incorporated. Cook another 5 minutes.
Plate with divided grits, topped with BBQ pork rib meat. Garnish with fresh cracked black pepper and chopped parsley (optional).
