Biscuits And Avocado Sage Gravy






 
It's breakfast time.  I wake up, walk into the living room/ kitchen to perk myself a cup of coffee.  I sip it as I turn and notice hubby staring at me from the couch.  His google-y eyes are staring into my mind and giving me that "I am starving" look.  "Are you hungry?" I asked. "Yes" said the google-y eye staring man.  That was the start of today. It seems like all we have eaten for the last few weeks since my Pignolata recipe has been Chipotle style sofritas for breakfast.  Day in and day out we have enjoyed this mixture in a burrito wrap but today I simply wanted to make something new.  Something to satisfy the hungriest of hungry men and of course, me.  So going through my pantry, I found a few things to throw this simple tasty meal together.  This Avocado Sage Gravy is going to be something you crave.... with its delicious savory flavors of Sage and Thyme, you may want this every day for a couple of weeks...
if you're anything like me!  Enjoy, share...love!  
 
 
Avocado Sage Gravy Recipe:
 
1 C. TVP or Sausage Flavor TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)
2 C. Vegetable stock
1/2 Soft Avocado
2 C. Rice Milk
1 Tbs. Vegan Butter
2 Tsp. Sage
1/2 Tsp. Red Pepper Flakes (I like mine hot so I add 1 whole teaspoon.)
1 pinch of Thyme
1 Tsp. Nutritional Yeast
1 Tsp. Liquid Aminos
Salt and Pepper to taste
Thickener:
2 Tbs. Flour plus 4 Tbs. water
Baked Biscuits
 
On high heat, pour TVP into a fry pan, add vegetable stock and stir until it's absorbed.
 
 

 
Add Avocado, Thyme, Sage and mix into TVP mixture until most of the avocado is smooth. Small bits of avocado may remain and that is fine but too big of chunks will make your gravy taste too much like avocado dip.

 

 Add Rice milk, stir and heat on high heat until mixture starts to bubble.  Add Vegan butter, nutritional yeast and Liquid Aminos, stir, add thickening mixture and stir until it starts to thicken.
 
Add red pepper flakes and salt and pepper to taste.  No salt added will give this dish a very flat and flavorless taste.  I recommend at least 1 Tsp.  Remove from heat and serve up this tasty and delightful savory sauce over fresh hot biscuits.  I used canned biscuits to make this recipe go from quick to speedy.
