Savory, Delicious,VEGAN Ingredients:
mountain country tomato gravy |
2 tablespoons bacon fat or 2 tablespoons butter, or olive oil |
2 tablespoons flour |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt (option) |
1/4 teaspoon pepper (scant) |
15-ounce can diced tomatoes |
1/2 cup milk |
Directions:
1. Get out a nice big skillet.
2. Heat the fat or oil over medium heat.
3. Stir in the flour with a fork or a whisk until it is lump free.
4. Let the fat simmer for a moment or two, to toast the flour just a bit.
5. Add the sugar ,salt and pepper.
6. Add the tomatoes.
7. Smash the tomatoes with your fork to make them sort of choppy or shredded.
8. This gravy is not smooth, so you don't have to work real hard at smashing the tomatoes.
9. The lumpy tomatoes are actually what give it the characteristic texture which tomato Gravy is famous for.
10. When it begins to boil and thicken, add the milk gradually.
11. Stir it all up and let it boil again.
12. It tastes so good, folks seldom notice if it is smooth or not.
13. If you can your own tomatoes, you can double or triple the recipe for each quart of tomatoes you use.
14. This recipe makes about 2-1/2 cup of gravy.
15. Good with biscuits or cornbread. My family has always loved it with rice. Also great with beef or fish!
16. Really good in the fall and winter.
17. Garnish with fresh herbs.
