Non Dairy White Sauce Recipes

DAIRY-FREE "CHEESE" SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix nutritional yeast, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, ground mustard, and salt together in a bowl. Pour in soy milk; whisk until smooth.
• Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour in soy milk mixture; cook, whisking constantly, until thickened into a sauce, about 5 minutes. Simmer until flavors combine, 1 to 2 minutes more.

WHITE SAUCE (GLUTEN & DAIRY FREE)

Steps:

• In a warm saucepan mix margarine and flour together, stirring quickly.
• When combined and melted add milk slowly, stirring quickly.
• Add honey.
• Simmer whilst stirring and serve with wheat-free pasta, rice noodles, roast beef, potatoes or use in a lasagna.
• I even use it instead of margarine on crackers with salmon or avacado.

NON-DAIRY WHITE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a medium high-sided skillet over medium heat until hot.
• Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown and stick to the skillet, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in garlic.
• Add a few tablespoons of broth and cook, stirring, until onion is very tender and liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer onion mixture to a blender and add remaining broth, cashews, soymilk, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper.
• Blend until very smooth.

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

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.

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix cocoa powder and salt together in a bowl.
• Bring water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Stir in cocoa mixture slowly. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
• Pour sauce into a storage container and leave to cool, uncovered, until thickened. Place container on an ice pack for faster cooling. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
