THICK , RICH GLUTEN-FREE, DAIRY-FREE ROUX/WHITE SAUCE

Thick , Rich Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Roux/White Sauce image

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.

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

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)

Steps:

Note: The rice flour you usually find is rather gritty (Arrowhead Mills, etc), so it is best to get your rice flour at an Asian market, where you can find powdered rice flour--it has the same feel as cornstarch.
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.

Finding wheat, dairy and sugar free recipes for my daughter is hard, but I adapted a white sauce recipe and made it slightly sweet for some flavour. She loves this sauce with anything, including salad!

Tips:

Use a food processor to get a very smooth roux. This is especially helpful if you're using a nut-based flour, which can be more difficult to blend smoothly.
If you don't have a food processor, you can make a roux by whisking the flour and fat together in a saucepan over low heat. Be sure to whisk constantly so that the roux doesn't burn.
To make a gluten-free roux, use a gluten-free flour, such as almond flour, coconut flour, or oat flour.
To make a dairy-free roux, use a dairy-free fat, such as olive oil, coconut oil, or vegan butter.
The ratio of fat to flour in a roux can vary depending on the desired thickness. For a thin sauce, use equal parts fat and flour. For a medium-thick sauce, use twice as much fat as flour. For a thick sauce, use three times as much fat as flour.
Cook the roux over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the desired color. A light roux will be pale golden in color, a medium roux will be golden brown, and a dark roux will be dark brown.
Once the roux is the desired color, slowly whisk in the liquid. Be sure to whisk constantly so that the sauce doesn't curdle.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook until it has thickened to the desired consistency. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to 30 minutes, depending on the type of sauce you're making.
Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other desired spices.

Conclusion:

A roux is a versatile ingredient that can be used to thicken sauces, soups, and stews. It's a simple mixture of fat and flour that is cooked together until it reaches the desired color. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and creamy roux that will add flavor and richness to your favorite dishes.
