    Roux/White Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    Big Fat Momma

    Recipe Introduction


    I'm staying away from wheat, but wanted a nice white sauce. All the others I have seen were thin or too sweet. This one is rich, creamy, and has a great flavor. Replaces white sauce in casseroles and tetrazzinis. Can be used as a base for cream of mushroom soup, too. Add spices you want to create the flavor you need. All spices listed are optional--I use this as the sauce for my chicken and rice bake.

    List of Ingredients




    Gluten-Free Roux/White Sauce



    2 tablespoons non-hydrogenated margarine
    1-2 tablespoon olive oil
    2 tablespoons extra-fine rice flour (see note)
    2 tablespoons garbanzo flour (chickpea, gram)
    1 teaspoon potato starch
    1 1/4 cups gluten-free chicken stock
    1 1/4 cups rice milk
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1/2 teaspoon dried basil (optional)
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
    1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
    1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
    1/4 teaspoon dried dill (optional)

    Recipe





    In a small bowl, mix flours and potato starch with a fork until mixed together.

    In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt margarine with oil over medium heat.

    Whisk flour mixture into oil/butter mixture until it forms a paste.

    Whisk in chicken stock and rice milk.

    Add spices and Worcestershire.

    Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until thick.

    If too thick, add more rice milk.

    If too thin, mix 1 tsp of (the garbanzo flour thickens better, but has a stronger taste) more flour with 1 T of cold water, and then stir into the sauce.
    Repeat if necessary.
