Re: SAUCE CORNER....
This garlic flavoured white sauce has many uses. Mash some garlic sauce in with freshly boiled potatoes for a lovely garlic mashed potato recipe. Use the garlic sauce for steak or instead of ketchup with kebabs or burgers. Make up a large batch of garlic sauce and use as a dipping sauce at your next barbeque. This garlic sauce is extremely versatile.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz (45gm) Butter1 Onion, finely chopped2 Cloves Garlic, crushed1 Glass Dry White WineSalt and Pepper1 oz (30gm) Flour1/2 pint (280 ml) Milk
Method:
Melt 1/2 oz (15gm) butter in a pan, add the chopped onions and cook gently until soft and golden. Add the garlic and cook for another minute or so. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the wine, turn up the heat and reduce the volume by about half. Remove from heat.
In another pan melt the remaining 1 oz (30 gm) of butter. Add the flour, stir and cook for about five minutes.
Now add the milk. If you've never made a white sauce before, the key is: take it slowly. Add just a little milk, stir well, then a little more. At first the result will look like a pastry. After a little more milk it will resemble an elastic dough. Beat this smooth. Then as you add the rest of the milk a little at a time keep stirring. You'll end up with a nice thick sauce. Mix in the onion and garlic and you're done.
