How to Make Almond Veloute Sauce
- Melt 4 tablespoons of margarine in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until a smooth paste (roux) forms.
- Cook the roux over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 1-2 minutes until it is smooth and bubbly and lightly golden.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of hot chicken or fish broth, ensuring no lumps form.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, whisking continuously.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to thicken the sauce.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
- Just before serving, stir in 1/2 cup of slivered almonds (toasted for enhanced flavor, optional).
