INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 c Water
1/2 c Quick-cooking grits
1 c Grated sharp cheddar
1 T Unsalted butter
2 Lean bacon
1 Green bell pepper, chopped
fine
1/2 c Fresh or frozen baby lima
beans
1 1/2 c Fresh corn kernels including
the pulp scraped from the
cobs cut from about 2
ears
of corn
1 Egg beaten with 1 tablespoon
water
Fine dry bread crumbs for
coating the grits
Vegetable oil for frying the
grits

INSTRUCTIONS

In a heavy saucepan bring 2 cups of the water to a boil, add the  grits
in a stream, stirring, and cook them, covered, over moderate  heat,
stirring occasionally, for 7 minutes, or until they are very  thick.
Add the Cheddar, the butter, and salt to taste, stir the  mixture until
the cheese is melted, and spread it in an 8-inch square  baking dish.
Chill the grits mixture, covered, overnight.  In a heavy skillet cook
the bacon over moderate heat until it is  crisp, transfer it to paper
towels to drain, and crumble it fine. In  the fat remaining in the
skillet cook the bell pepper over moderate  heat, stirring until it is
softened, stir in the lima beans, the  corn, and the remaining 1/2 cup
water, and simmer the succotash,  covered partially, for 8 to 10
minutes, or until the beans are tender.  Have ready in separate bowls
the egg mixture and the bread crumbs. In  a heavy skillet heat 3/4-inch
of the oil over moderately high heat  until it registers 360 degrees on
a deep fat thermometer. While the  oil is heating cut the grits mixture
into 9 squares. Working in  batches, dip the squares into the egg
mixture, letting the excess  drip off, coat them with the bread crumbs,
and fry them in the oil,  turning them carefully, for 2 minutes on each
side, or until they are  golden, transferring them as they are fried to
paper towels to drain.  Serve the succotash spooned over the grits
squares.  Yield: 6 to 8 as a side dish.  Recipe by: Cooking Live Show
