Corn meal is yellow, and it's like palenta. When they frycatfish, they fry it in corn meal. Palenta is the Italianversion of corn meal.
Grits are white and they'relikethe southern versionof corn meal. They're similar, but not the same.
If you're going to fry something, you can use corn meal, but not grits.

It's a Pork and Black Bean Stew. Without writingout the whole thing, I'll tell you what the ingredients are. It's a newrecipe I'm going to try out tomorrow, but have never ever seen corngrits available up here. Not that I've really looked, mind you.
Onion, garlic, pork loin, chili powder, cumin, ground cinnamon,jalapeno pepper, black beans, corn grits, fresh cilantro and limejuice.
Would regular corn meal work you think? The last instruction is "Stirin the grits and cook until thickened and intense, about 15 moreminutes, stirring often to prevent sticking."
It sounds very yummy and is a pretty balanced meal. My diet has been working, this is a recipe from that cookbook.

What time is dinner?? Sounds yummie!!
I'm thinking corn meal would be a good substitute. Besides recipes for cookin are more like guidelines.
Unlike baking..which is like chemistry.
BTW... anyone else an Emril fan?

Hahaha, I know, I love that part. I guess he doesn't even like peppers (from what an old coworker told me).
Ok, I'm in the middle of cooking this meal and so far it smells sooooogood. I was all sorts of skeptical about the cinnamon, but all I cansay is wow. My husband and I are debating having it with rice, but Ihave a feeling it's a meal on its own and will be filling enough withall the black beans. It called for 15 oz. but I put in a 19oz cans. Asyou said Jim, it's just a guideline.
