DAIRY-FREE SAVORY SAUSAGE GRAVY



Dairy-Free Savory Sausage Gravy image

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.

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Gravy Recipes

Time 25m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds breakfast sausage
2 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cube beef bouillon, crushed
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups almond milk, or as needed
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons ground black pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Break sausage apart in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until starting to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add Worcestershire sauce to the mix and let it heat up before adding beef bouillon and nutmeg. Stir and cook sausage until no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Reduce heat to medium low and sprinkle in flour gradually. Cook, stirring constantly, until flour coats the sausage and is completely absorbed. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Pour in almond milk gradually, stirring constantly until gravy starts to thicken, up to 12 minutes. Add a little more almond milk if too thick. Season with salt and pepper. Continue stirring vigorously until gravy reaches desired thickness. Remove from heat and let cool. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

GRAVY (MILK FREE RECIPE)



GRAVY (MILK FREE RECIPE) image

Categories     Sauce     turkey     Sauté     Christmas     Easter     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 Tablespoons oil (olive, bacon grease, canola, etc) I personally use olive.
3 Tablespoons flour
1 tsp pepper
1 chicken, beef or vegetable boullion cube
3/4 cup water

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.
