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.

Time 15m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 13

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.

This sauce is a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add some milk or cream to it next time.

I've never made a roux sauce before, but this recipe was so easy to follow. I'm definitely going to make it again.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted the butter in this recipe with olive oil. It turned out great!

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots, celery, and onion to mine, and it was delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out lumpy. I think I'll have to try this recipe again.

This is the best roux sauce I've ever had! I can't believe it's gluten-free and dairy-free.

This sauce is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some herbs and spices to it next time.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I'm not sure I'll try it again.

This sauce is okay, but it's not as good as the classic version. I think it's because the gluten-free and dairy-free ingredients don't have the same richness and flavor as the traditional ingredients.

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. The sauce was thin and didn't have much flavor. I think I'll stick to my old roux recipe.

Finally, a roux sauce that I can enjoy! I'm allergic to both gluten and dairy, so I've been missing out on this classic sauce for years. This recipe is a lifesaver.

I was skeptical at first, but this roux sauce really impressed me. It's easy to make and has a great flavor. I've used it in several dishes so far, and it's always been a hit.

This roux sauce is a game-changer for my gluten-free and dairy-free cooking! It's thick, rich, and creamy, just like the classic version, but without any of the allergens. I used it to make a delicious chicken pot pie, and it was a hit with my family
