Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 ounces butter
3 cups instant grits
3 cups chicken stock -- boiling
1 large onion -- chopped
2 cloves garlic -- minced
1 green bell pepper -- chopped
3 tablespoons butter
4 cups cooked chicken -- or pork, shredded
2 pimento -- chopped
1 1/2 cups olives -- black or green,
pitted
2 tablespoons chili powder -- or to taste
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whip the 1/4 pound butter until light and soft. Beat in the grits and
gradually add in the boiling chicken stock until mixture is smooth. Cover
and set aside while you make the filling.
Sauté onion, garlic and bell pepper in 3 tablespoons butter until soft,
about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix well. Taste and
add more chili powder if wanted, because the grits mixture will absorb
most
of the heat.
Spread half the prepared grits mixture in a 9 inch square baking pan.
Cover with the meat mixture and smooth remaining grits mixture over the
top.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until crusty on top and filling is heated through.
