Since I had opened a bottle of salsa when I made taco rice a couple of weeks ago, I thought about making taco salad or nachos
And with the somewhat cooler weather, I kind of also wanted cheese sauce.
So I found an easy recipe here
I made 1/4 or so of the recipe
Here’s the full recipe if you want to try : serves 6 : BBC Good Food
500 milliliters milk
4 tablespoons flour
50 grams butter
100 grams cheese : add your favorites to total 100 grams
Pour milk into large saucepan, add flour and butter
Turn heat to medium and start to whisk
Keep whisking fast as butter melts and mixture comes to a boil the flour will disappear and start to thicken
Whisk for another 2 minutes while the sauce bubbles then stir in cheese until melted
NOTES: so easy, once you turn on the heat, just whisk! and you’ll see the sauce come together in a couple of minutes.
I actually didn't read the directions and put the milk, flour, butter and cheese in all at one time and just whisked until the sauce came together.
ps I ended up making a chicken taco salad with some poached chicken from the freezer, avocado, baby leaf, salsa and a drizzle of the cheese sauce.
it's like a very toned down sauce mornay? I know it would make for mac&cheese!
ReplyDeleteYour salad looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteinteresting sauce for taco salad, but I like Rowena's idea of mac and cheese!
