Gluten Free and Vegan White Sauce (Bechamel)

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 1/2 tbsp Coconut Oil
• 2 tbsp Shallots

  minced
• 1/4 cup Oat Flour
• 4 cups Oat Milk
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 1/8 tsp Nutmeg
• 1 sprig Fresh Thyme
• 1 Lemon

  juiced
• 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

• 1 Add the coconut oil, shallots and salt to a 2 1/2 quart sauce pan. Sweat the
  shallots over medium low heat until they are translucent. This should take 3-6
  minutes. Make sure to use an off set spatula to move the shallots around to keep
  them from burning. If you burn the shallots the sauce will be ruined and you'll
  want to start over.
• 2 Make a roux by adding the oat flour [https://amzn.to/3BirqGV] to the shallots
  and stir constantly for six minutes making sure not to brown the flour. 
• 3 Whisk [https://amzn.to/3nOcA6O] in the almond milk to prevent it from clumping
  with the flour. Next, add the fresh thyme [https://amzn.to/3AMP6DT] and bay
  leaf. Raise the heat to medium and allow the sauce to simmer for 20 minutes
  stirring often.
• 4 Add the lemon juice and nutmeg. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  Strain out the fresh herbs and enjoy!
