Ingredients
Scale
Biscuits
- 8 biscuits (store-bought or homemade)
Chorizo Gravy
- 12 oz Cacique pork chorizo (spicy flavor)
- 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)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the biscuits: If using store-bought biscuits, bake according to package instructions until golden and fluffy. For homemade biscuits, roll out your preferred dough and bake until golden brown and tender.
- Brown the chorizo: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the pork chorizo and break it apart with a spatula. Let it cook and sizzle for about 5-7 minutes until fully browned and cooked through.
- Sauté the onions: Stir in the finely diced onion into the chorizo and cook for an additional 7 minutes, allowing the onions to soften and blend with the meat.
- Add the flour: Sprinkle the flour evenly over the chorizo and onion mixture. Stir continuously and cook for about 1 minute until the flour turns a light golden color, which helps to thicken the gravy.
- Incorporate the milk: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Gradually pour in the milk while stirring constantly, allowing the mixture to thicken. Let the gravy simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Season and serve: Season the chorizo gravy with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the rich, creamy gravy generously over the warm biscuits and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Non-dairy milks such as almond or oat milk can be used to accommodate lactose intolerance.
- Adjust chorizo spiciness by choosing mild or spicy varieties according to your preference.
- To add extra flavor, consider incorporating fresh herbs like parsley or chives when serving.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with scrambled eggs or sautéed greens for a complete breakfast.
