Soy Chorizo Gravy and Biscuits
Use Trader Joe's soy chorizo (or soyrizo if you prefer) to make a flavorful gravy to go with canned biscuits for a spicy Southern treat.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Pillsbury Grands Southern style canned biscuits (or other biscuits of your choosing)
- 1 package Trader Joe's soy chorizo
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- chopped scallions or chives to garnish optional
Instructions
- Bake the biscuits according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, heat the soyrizo over medium heat in a medium sized saute pan for 5 minutes. Stir frequently so all sides get lightly browned. Set aside when done.
- In a separate saute pan, heat the butter over medium heat until melted. Whisk in the flour until combined.
- Slowly drizzle the milk into the flour-butter mixture, whisking the whole time.
- Keep whisking until thick and bubbling. You can bump the heat to medium high if it seems like it's taking too long. Do not walk away from the pan at this point, keep whisking.
- Once it's at the preferred gravy thickness, remove from heat and set aside. Salt and pepper to taste, and add in soyrizo. Fold in the soyrizo until fully combined.
- Split open two biscuits and put on a plate. Spoon the gravy over the biscuits, and grind black pepper over top. Garnish with scallions or chives and serve immediately.
