This morning's b-fast was throw together with Gimmie Lean veggie sausage, left over gravy and minimal ingredients for biscuits. Here's to living on a tight budget!
Improvised Savory Biscuits
Preheat: 350
Mix:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 tbsp. fresh thyme
- pinch of parsley
- 2 tbsp. flax sprinkles
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup olive oil
(In the future I would use margarine, but we were out. Too much cinnamon & sugar toast this week!)
Meanwhile:
Brown and crumble 1/2 package of Gimmie Lean in 1-2 tbsp. olive oil on medium heat. We like out "meat" really brown and crumbly. Cook to your liking.
Basic Vegetarian Gravy - A staple in my kitchen this Fall
About 3 tbsp. olive oil
1/4 c. flour
Cook on medium heat for a few minutes.
Add a splash of soy milk and let thicken.
I continue this process until I have added about 3/4 c. "milk"
Then I continue to add vegetable broth, using 1 cup boiling water to 1 tsp. of Better Than Bullion** Vegetable flavor. I will add approximately 2 cups throughout the process.
I then like to add salt, pepper, crushed red pepper and soy sauce to taste.
Each time I make the gravy different. The most important part is the beginning roux making. Continue to stir with a whisk to avoid lumpy gravy. 'Cuz who wants lumpy gravy!? NOT me!
When your gravy has met your consistency and flavor standards, add the sausage, turn stove to low and let simmer for a few.
Pour on biscuits and enjoy on a rainy Saturday morning in October!
**Better than Bullion is awesome because:
-It makes soooo much broth
-It does not contain MSG
-It is mushroom free! ( I am VERY allergic to mushrooms)
Take that Chicago Diner!! <3
