Vegan cheese grits with red lentils, roasted cherries and collard greens

Grits with red lentils, roasted cherries and collard greens (yellow corn meal, vegetable stock, white vinegar, garlic, ginger, turmeric, nutritional yeast, sea salt).

Some old-fashioned comfort food, with a weird gourmet twist (roasted cherries). The cherries definitely added some sour flavour. A ribbon of pomegranate molasses might have been just as good.
