Mom's White Sauce

Jeff and Leah
Serves 3

This is so yummy and SO EASY!

Mom used to make this a lot when we were little.

1/2 cube of butter (you can use 4 T olive oil)
1 diced onion
2 cloves minced garlic
Whole Grain Flour till butter becomes a thick paste
Milk to desired consistency (can use water, I used half Water half Raw Milk)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Melt butter in heated in pan. 
Add onion and simmer till butter browns, and onions are translucent. 
Add garlic simmer for 30 seconds or so.
Add your whole grain flour in, 1/4 a cup at a time, until your melted butter becomes a thick paste. 
Let simmer for a minute or so, stir so it won't burn.
Add Milk until you get a gravy consistency. It is much more liquid then you anticipate. It will also thicken as it sits, so you might have to keep adding liquid.
 Add Salt and Pepper to taste.


At this point you can add whatever herbs and spices you desire. Last night, I added Fresh Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme.  We served it over Quinoa and added Peas. Jeff loved it!
You can also add cooked meats, you could serve it over Rice, Noodles, cooked Spaghetti Squash.  It's so versatile and delicious!
