Biscuits and Gravy
I can't say I'm a big fan of biscuits and gravy. Actually I've always considered them a little peppery and heavy.
Imagine my surprise when I had a sudden urge for biscuits and gravy.
I also had the deep desire to avoid a trip to the grocery store. I hadn't even stepped out the door all day.
So with what I had on hand. I got to work.
I found a biscuit recipe, used Vegan ingredients and even cut it into squares to avoid the rerolling thing. Nice.
Then I got to work on the gravy.
3 TBSP flour
3 TBSP Earth Balance
1/2 Cup fine dice celery
1/2 Cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 Cup crushed cashew bits
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp sage
1/2 tsp salt
Fresh ground pepper, 6-8 cranks.
2 Cups Unflavored non-dairy milk.
Place cashew pieces in milk and let them soak a half hour or so. Melt Earth Balance, toss celery and mushrooms in and cook til tender. Add the flour and make a decent paste, add spices. Then slowly pour in milk and cashews. Stir and simmer until this reaches the consistency you want.
About 3-5 minutes. If it gets too thick, add a bit more milk.
Poor gravy over the biscuits and yum. Yum. Enjoy.
