Recipe Introduction
"This herb-scented bechamel sauce is a lighter but luscious alternative to a rich cream sauce. Though thickened with flour, it has the texture of cream, and when cooked the full length of time it shouldn't have a floury taste."
List of Ingredients
2 cup milk
1/4 sm onion, sliced OR chopped
5 black peppercorns, crushed
4 fresh parsley sprigs
1 bay leaf
Several fresh thyme sprigs OR pinch of dried
1 tbl butter
1 tbl all-purpose flour
1 pch salt
Freshly grated nutmegRecipe
* In small saucepan, combine milk, onion, peppercorns, parsley, bay leaf and thyme. Slowly heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed.
* Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in warm milk mixture and pinch of salt and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 25 minutes. Add more salt if needed and nutmeg. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve before using.
