DAIRY-FREE SAVORY SAUSAGE GRAVY
Fairly basic, large-batch sausage gravy recipe that I've developed over time. The family loves it every time, so the large batch is needed! Normally I'd use soy milk for most things, but I've found that in greater quantities it tends to froth badly. Almond milk does not have this problem though! Serve over warmed biscuits or toasted bread of your choice.

MILK GRAVY (PAULA DEEN)
My grandmother used to make the BEST milk gravy! She would serve it over chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. Unfortunatley, I never got her original recipe. I came across this recipe in a "Cooking with Paula Deen" magazine and I think this is very close to what my grandmother used to make!

Steps:
- In a pan, heat olive oil. Add pepper and boullion cube. Stir for about a minute. Add flour, quickly stirring to make a paste. If the paste is a little 'dry' add a few drops of oil until it's kind of clumpy. Sautee your lumpy sauce until lightly brown, add cold water to pan, quickly stirring. If you add hot water, your flour will cook fast and you will end up with a hot lumpy mess. Continue to stir until you have a liquid cloudy mixture. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat. If sauce is a little thin, cook at a simmer until you reach desired thickness. Use as you would most gravy.
Tips:
- When making a roux, use equal parts fat (such as butter or oil) and flour. This will help to ensure that the roux is smooth and not lumpy.
- Cook the roux over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is a light golden brown color. This will help to bring out the flavor of the roux and prevent it from burning.
- Add the milk to the roux slowly, whisking constantly. This will help to prevent the roux from clumping.
- Bring the gravy to a simmer and cook for at least 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help to thicken the gravy and allow the flavors to meld.
- Season the gravy to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. Common seasonings include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and rosemary.
Conclusion:
Making milk-free gravy is easy and only requires a few simple ingredients. With a little planning, you can enjoy delicious and creamy gravy without having to worry about dairy. Whether you are looking for a traditional gravy to serve with your holiday meal or a quick and easy gravy for a weeknight dinner, there is a milk-free gravy recipe out there for you.
