Market Sausage Gravy with Buttermilk Brine

Method

1. Prep and measure everything first; this sausage gravy moves fast once the pan is hot.

2. Heat buttermilk over medium-high until shimmering.

3. Add garlic powder and cook until fragrant, stirring so nothing catches.

4. Toss in the main ingredients with stone-ground grits and stir-fry until just cooked through.

5. Taste, balance the seasoning, and serve right away while hot.
