Use this garlic white sauce in place of milk
and butter to create a wonderful gourmet mashed potato dish.
Ingredients -
1 1/2 ounces Butter
1 medium Onion, finely chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, crushed
8 ounces Dry White Wine
Salt and Pepper, to taste
1 ounce Flour
1/2 pint Milk
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 425F.
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.
