We all love a cheesy, creamy, super-rich, delicious white sauce. It’s perfect in lasagne, in a moussaka, or tarragon chicken. But what about if you are dairy-free, lactose intolerant, or vegan?
Do not despair! This super easy, super cheesy, totally delicious and dairy-free white sauce recipe will have your guests and friends in complete disbelief that it’s not the real thing!
To start with, simply heat a little oil in a pan, and add a couple of tablespoons of white flour. Mix into a paste over the heat until it becomes bubbly and golden. Then slowly pour in about half a cup of soy milk, stirring it in as you go to make it thick and rich.
At this point, you can also add a handful of vegan cheese, although this is totally optional. If you are adding cheese, add it bit by bit, so it melts slowly into the mixture.
Keep stirring and adding soy milk until the sauce is deliciously thick and gooey. Then add salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of nutmeg. You can also add a sprinkle of garlic powder if that’s your thing!
If you’re pouring it over a dish before baking, you can also add a scattering of breadcrumbs, to make it even more delicious and rich.
Or, you know, just eat it straight from the pot with a spoon. We won’t judge.
