Spicy chorizo gravy
You can easily scale this up and make it for more people, I’ve made up to 6 lbs of meat which is a LOT of gravy. Also I don’t go by a recipe so all this for you, as it has been for me, will be a little trial and error.
I like to buy hemplers chorizo or the chorizo from the butcher counter at the grocery store, do not buy the cheap chorizo in the tube or you will NOT like this recipe and probably curse me.
1. 1lb chorizo
2. 1/2 habanero, finely chopped
3. 1 jalapeño or Fresno pepper, I prefer Fresno, coarsely chopped
4. Whole Anaheim pepper/hatch chili, if it is a hatch then only use half, since hatches are usually a little more spicy. Coarsely chopped
5. A little chopped up onion
6. Your favorite pancake mix powder, I use snoqualmie
7. About 1/4 pint heavy cream
8. Whole milk
9. Salt to taste, when I’m making chorizo gravy I use less salt than regular country gravy
10. Pepper to taste
Throw a little butter in the bottom of a pan and let ‘er sizzle a little, then throw in the onions and peppers, let them sizzle a little till the onions start to get translucent. Now throw in the meat, fry that till done, personally I like to overcook it a little when I’m making gravy. I don’t drain the oil since the chorizo I buy isn’t as greasy as the cheap stuff, that said, if there is a LOT of oil then soak a little bit of it up. Once the meat is done then throw in a little salt, not a lot, if you don’t put enough in then it’s easy enough to put more in later. Then pepper. THEN take a couple tablespoons of snoqualmie pancake mix (again, it’s easier to add a little more later if you need it) and mix it in real well, so there is no dry mix left. Once that is mixed well then dump in heavy cream and then the milk to your desired gravy thickness, I like chunky.
Stir this often and let simmer while you make your biscuits. I never start biscuits until the gravy is done, that way it all has time to marinate together.
Speaking of biscuits, here is the best way to make those:
1. Be gainfully employed
2. With the earnings from your job securely in your pocket, go to your favorite grocery store
3. Purchase some pilsbury biscuits
4. Cook as instructed on the package
5. Enjoy
