No Butter White Sauce Recipe
Our No Butter White Sauce is a versatile white sauce without the fat and cholesterol of classic white sauce recipes. We lighten up
this white sauce recipe by eliminating the butter and replacing it with healthy organic virgin olive oil. To make a lower fat version you can use non-fat milk instead of low-fat milk.Below is our basic version that can be used over chicken, potatoes or rice. Try adding 1/2 chopped Crimini mushrooms, 1/2 cup finely minced onion and increasing milk by 1/3 cup to create a flavorful, light mushroom sauce.

In a medium skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add cayenne pepper and organic poultry seasoning to warm olive oil. Stir with a whisk until dry ingredients are incorporated into the oil. Slowly add flour and stir with a whisk until a thick paste forms. Remove skillet from heat and slowly add milk while constantly whisking until the milk is completely incorporated into the olive oil and flour paste.

If you are cooking with non-stick or teflon coated pans you will
need to have a whisk that will not scratch the surface of your pots. My favorite non-stick pan safe whisk for sauce recipes is made by Kitchenaid
and is pictured here. You can find whisks at cooking stores, department stores or online.
