Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup Onion (diced)
• 3 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular flour
• 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)
• 1 cup Vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 pinch Ground nutmeg (optional, for added depth)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Step 3

Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and onions, stirring constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.

Step 4

Slowly whisk in the dairy-free milk, making sure to break up any lumps of flour as you go. Continue stirring to create a smooth mixture.

Step 5

Whisk in the vegetable broth and keep stirring until fully combined.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 7

Stir in the nutritional yeast (if using), along with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Remove from heat and use immediately as a base for soups or other recipes. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
