Tuna Gravy aka Creamed Tuna

Source: mi madre

Ingredients:
1 1/2 Tablespoons butter
1 heaping soup spoon flour
1 can evaporated milk (can also use regular milk for a lower-cal option)
1 can tuna
a sprinkling of peas
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:
Melt butter in a sauce pan.  Add flour and mix to form a nice yellowy paste - a roux I think it's called technically.  If it's too buttery, add more flour.  If it's too floury, add more butter.  Add the canned milk and heat slowly till the butter/flour mixture is melted completely into the milk and it begins to thicken.  If it's too thick, add some water.  Add the tuna and some peas.  Season with salt and pepper.  Continue heating on the stove over medium heat till it's thick and creamy and/or your biscuits are done - whichever comes last.  Serve over warm biscuits.

Notes:
This is just one of those homey comfort foods of mine.  I had the craving for it today on my way home from school and had to call my mom for the "recipe".  She's a good teacher 'cause it turned out just the way I remember it growing up.  Definitely not the most glamorous (or photogenic - I didn't even try!) of meals, but it sure hits the spot on a rainy Tuesday.  Gregg made the whole wheat biscuits from his mom's Stir and Roll Biscuit recipe.  Delish.
