Rosemary Beef & Peas Over Grits

A simple yet rich, fragrant and comforting dish that’s great served over grits or rice.

I made up this recipe as a way to use up some odds and ends that I had hanging out in the refrigerator, and it was delicious! Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard and tomato paste deepen the flavor of this hearty dish.

I had quick cooking grits on hand, which made for a speedy base for this beefy topping. It would also be great over rice or polenta, or even on top of pasta.
