Directions
Make the Sausage Crumbles
Put Fennel & Sage Plant Protein Mix into a bowl. In a separate cup, combine water, liquid aminos and maple syrup (see Note).
Gradually add liquid into the bowl while stirring frequently with a fork. Stop adding water when the mixture is just moist. If the mix is too dry, add one teaspoon of water at a time and continue stirring until the dry mix is no longer visible. Let mixture rest while you heat up the pan.
Heat a wide pan over low heat. Add oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Break mixture into crumbles and add it to the pan in a single layer. Once crumbles are in the pan, increase heat to medium and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring regularly, until crispy. Remove crumbles from pan and let cool.
Make the Gravy
In a pan, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Add the flour in increments, whisking constantly, to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the almond milk, a little at a time, whisking to prevent lumps. Continue adding until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
When ready to serve, fold the cooked sausage crumbles into the gravy, stirring to combine. Heat gently for 1-2 minutes to marry the flavors
Recipe Note
Note: Seasoning the water with liquid aminos and maple syrup is optional, but doing so gives the crumbles a nice balance of depth and flavor. Soy sauce or tamari can be used as alternatives to the liquid aminos.
