  Gradually whisk in the grits and sea salt, then reduce heat to low and cover the pan.

  Simmer the grits for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed and the texture is tender.

  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the diced bell pepper, onion, and celery.

  Sauté the vegetables for 5 minutes until they begin to soften and become fragrant.
