Biscuits! Now with Gravy! And the Final Day of Tofutti Giveaways.

There have been some amazing MoFo posts about biscuits and gravy recently. I had to jump on the bandwagon, because, really, what's better than soft, fluffy, buttery biscuits with rich savory spiced gravy? Here are a couple of yesterday's Tzippy biscuits with my version of a yummy gravy.

Tempeh Gravy for Biscuits

1 8 oz package tempeh, roughly crumbled
1 sweet onion (or substitute regular), diced medium
2 T vegan butter
3 T flour
3/4 t marjoram (or 1/2 t oregano)
3/4 t rubbed sage
3/4 t fennel seeds
pinch nutmeg
1/2 t salt
1/2 t freshly ground white pepper
2 c almond milk, or choose another non-dairy milk
1 c vegetable broth
1/2 t red pepper flakes

Place tempeh in a large pan. Add water to nearly cover, and steam the tempeh for ten minutes. Allow to cool.

Saute onion in butter till soft over medium heat. Add flour and allow to cook a couple of minutes, stirring, to get rid of the raw taste. Mix the veggie broth and almond milk together and slowly add it to the pan, stirring. If you get some lumps, whisk it. Add in tempeh and spices and allow to thicken. If it is not as thick as you would like, mix some arrowroot or cornstarch (corn flour) with a bit of broth and keep adding it in until you get your desired thickness.

Since it's a Tofutti giveaway today, I can imagine that mixing in some Tofutti cream cheese could also help thicken it up and enrich it.
