Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 8 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Chorizo Gravy
- 12 oz Cacique pork chorizo (spicy flavor and richness)
- 1/2 medium onion (white or yellow), finely diced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (can substitute gluten-free flour)
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk (non-dairy milk works well)
Instructions
- Prepare Biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, bake according to the package instructions. For homemade biscuits, roll out your preferred dough and bake until golden and fluffy.
- Cook Chorizo: In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, add the chorizo. Break it apart with a spatula and cook for 5-7 minutes until fully browned and cooked through.
- Sauté Onion: Stir in the finely diced onion and cook alongside the chorizo for about 7 minutes until softened.
- Add Flour: Sprinkle the flour over the chorizo and onions, stirring constantly. Cook for about 1 minute until the flour turns a light golden color, to eliminate the raw flour taste.
- Simmer Gravy: Reduce heat to medium-low and gradually pour in the milk while stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.
- Serve: Ladle the warm chorizo gravy generously over the fluffy biscuits. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Notes
- Use gluten-free flour if gluten sensitivity is a concern.
- Non-dairy milk such as almond or soy milk can be used as a substitute for whole milk.
- Adjust the spice level by choosing mild or extra spicy chorizo according to preference.
- This recipe is perfect for batch-making biscuits in advance and reheating before serving with fresh gravy.
- Leftover gravy can be refrigerated up to 2 days and reheated gently on stovetop.
