Best Low Fat Low Calorie Buttery Sauce Recipes

LOW CAL BUTTER SAUCE (VEGAN OPTION)

Steps:

• 1. In a sauce pan add the soda, vinegar, onions, garlic and cilantro and let it reduce.
• 2. when it has almost absolutely reduced to a fourth, filter the concentrated liquid to remove the solid parts (onions, cilantro -- ) save the liquid.
• 3. In the same pan add the 1 teaspoon butter and melt. To this add the flour and mix well. When the flour emits a cooked smell (not burnt) add the saved liquid and the milk one after the other slowly and let boil.Keep stirring constantly or else the flour will goop.
• 4. The sauce is ready when it is in a thick but pour-able consistency. Adjust salt and garlic to taste. Some like it strong and some just like a hint. You may also add the zest of a lemon to make a lemon butter garlic sauce. It is a good variation. I let couple of the cooked cilantro float in the sauce, but its optional.

LOW FAT BASIC WHITE SAUCE (WITHOUT BUTTER)

Steps:

• Pour stock into a small saucepan and heat; once hot add cornflour and stir constantly to cook flour, it will be very thick, yellowy & clear.
• Off stove add the milk, very slowly stirring until smooth; this is where I need the blender to get the lumps out.
• Put back on medium heat, add the extra stock and continue stirring until it thickens; add the onion powder, herbs, pepper and salt.
• You may need more stock or skim milk, when I made this tonight, on heating it up after it had cooled it became thicker and needed to be thinned a little.
