Brazil Nut Gravy

Brazil nuts aren’t usually a pantry staple but every time I get my hands on them, I’m pleasantly reminded of how buttery and sweet they taste. All of the Brazil nut’s comforting flavors are brought out in this gravy recipe shared with us by Dr. Lorayne Barton. We like it best over biscuits.

  1. Can you do this in the Vitamix with warm water until thickened, so you would not need to transfer to the stove?
