The smooth texture and comforting warmth make it an irresistible topping for fluffy biscuits. Whether you're starting your day or enjoying brunch, this gravy is a deliciously satisfying choice.
Ingredients
For the TVP Sausage:
1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) Crumbles
1 cup Hot Vegetable Broth
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce or Tamari
1 tsp Liquid Smoke (optional, for smokiness)
1-2 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Ground Sage
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Crushed Red Pepper Flakes to taste (optional, for heat)
For the Gravy:
3 Tablespoons Vegan Butter
3 Tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
2 cups Unsweetened Plant-Based Milk (oat or soy work best for creaminess)
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Ground Sage
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the TVP crumbles with the hot vegetable broth, soy sauce, and liquid smoke. Let it rehydrate for about 10 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the rehydrated TVP and season with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground sage, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until browned and slightly crispy. Place in a bowl, set aside. You can add additional oil to the pan if needed.
In the same skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Sprinkle the flour into the melted butter and whisk constantly to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the plant-based milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, ground sage, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Add the prepared TVP sausage to the gravy and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
Ladle the sausage gravy generously over warm, flaky vegan biscuits (recipe on this website) and enjoy!
Note: If you use the same skillet when adding the butter your gravy will be a richer deeper golden brown color, like traditional gravy. If you what a lighter gravy change pans when adding the butter then continue with the recipe.
