DONAR KEBAB SAUCES (WHITE AND RED)



Donar Kebab Sauces (White and Red) image

I came up with these quick sauces to top off Donar Kebabs (gyros), similar to what you get in Europe. There's a white sauce similar to an aioli and a red chili sauce similar to harissa, but these use shortcuts to cut down on prep time since you're also cooking up the donar kebabs. I make these to go with my recipe Recipe #292013 .

Cheeze Sauce (Donna's - from Nutmeg Notebook) Recipe image

Provided by LauraA

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups raw, peeled Yokon gold potatoes
1 cup baby carrots sliced in half
3/4 c water
1/2 cups nutritional yeast
1 t Table Tasty
1/2 t garlic powder
1/2 t onion powder
3/4 t smoked paprika
dash cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • put carrots, potatoes, and 4 cups water in pot, bring to boil, turn down, cook until fork tender - about 20 minutes place all ingredients in vitamin, blend well

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your sauce. Look for high-quality butter, flour, and milk.
  • Cook the roux slowly: The key to a smooth, lump-free sauce is to cook the roux slowly over low heat. This allows the flour to cook through and develop a rich, nutty flavor.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Every palate is different, so be sure to season the sauce to your liking. Salt, pepper, and nutmeg are all classic seasonings for white sauce, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Don't boil the sauce: Boiling the sauce will cause it to curdle. Keep the heat on low and simmer the sauce gently until it has thickened.
  • Use the sauce immediately or store it properly: White sauce is best when used immediately, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the sauce gently over low heat before serving.

Conclusion:

White sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect white sauce every time.
