How to Make Thick Rich Gluten Free Dairy Free Roux White Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon potato starch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until thoroughly combined.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons margarine and 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the melted margarine and oil until a smooth paste forms. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  4. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups chicken stock and 1/2 cup unsweetened rice milk. Stir continuously.
  5. Add 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or other spices to taste) and 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce. Continue stirring.
  6. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. If the sauce is too thick, add more rice milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
  8. If the sauce is too thin, whisk together 1 teaspoon gluten-free all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon cold water to form a slurry. Gradually whisk this slurry into the sauce until thickened. Repeat if necessary.
  9. Remove from heat and serve immediately or let cool completely. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
