🔪 Instructions

• Brown the Butter:
  • Add butter to a medium saucepan.
  • Set over medium heat.
  • Cook until it starts foaming.
• Combine in Flour: Slowly work the flour to make a smooth paste. Stir constantly for 1 minute to cook slightly.
• Whisk in the Milk: Gradually drizzle in milk, whisking continuously. This helps to avoid any lumps in the sauce.
• Season: to taste with salt, pepper and any optional seasonings
• Cook the sauce: Cook, stirring occasionally, until it reduces to your preferred thickness.
• Serve: use the sauce straight away; otherwise, leave it in the refrigerator.

Detailed instructions:

• Step 1: Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Letting the butter brown may affect the taste of the sauce.
• Step 2: Sprinkle Butter and Flour on Your Over SteamerStep one begins with gently melting the butter. Next, add flour to it little by little. Stir constantly until the mixture boils and thickens (a paste or a roux). To this, add plain flour. Cook the roux for a minute so that the raw taste of the Masala will go away.
• Step 3: Whisk vigorously and slowly pour in the milk. This step will help prevent lumps in your sauce. Continue to stir in milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is as thin as you like.
• Step 4: Season with salt and pepper to taste. At this point, you can also add garlic powder or onion powder if desired.
• Step 5: Add the sauce and continue to cook until thick, stirring occasionally. It will typically take 5-7 minutes. If your sauce thickens too much, you can add some more milk to thin it out.
• Step 6: Use your base cream sauce for Hello Fresh. You may serve this right away with your best-loved dishes or keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for five days.

🥄 Equipment

• Saucepan
• Whisk
• Measuring spoons and cups

Equipment Insights:

• Saucepan: a medium-sized bottomed saucepan is perfect for cooking this sauce because of its even heat distribution.
• Whisk: Whisks are essential to creating a smooth, lump-free sauce. A silicone-coated whisk is used to avoid scratching non-stick pans.
• Measuring Spoons and Cups: Provides structure in the sauce; it will also keep things consistent.

🥫 Storage

Green Meat Curry Chicken Cream: Refrigerate the Green Meat curry, base or whatever else I have in an impenetrable holder for as long as 5 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, and milk to taste, if you need to.

Reheating Tips:

• Sauce — Stove: Over low heat, reheat sauce, stirring often to keep it from sticking.
• Microwave: To heat the sauce, microwave it in a micro-safe bowl or container until warm, stirring every 20-30 seconds for even heating.

📖 Variations

The Hello Fresh cream sauce base offers no shortage of options since it accepts virtually any flavor you add to your dish.

• A 1/2 cup of grated cheese — if you're feeling a little cheesy today. Great options include cheddar, Parmesan or Gruyere.
• Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or fresh minced garlic for a garlicky flavor.
• Herbed: Add some fresh chopped parsley, thyme or basil for a fragrant flavor.
• Add a Pinch of Cayenne (if you like spicy) or a dash of hot sauce for heat.
• Sauté the finely chopped mushrooms and put them within the sauce to add delicious Umami notes.

Detailed Variations:

• Optional Cheese Tortellini Add-on: To make this into a more traditional cheese sauce, you can add 1/2 cup grated cheese. Whisk until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. This version is excellent for making mac and cheese or topping your veggies.
• Special Note about Garlic: For my fellow garlic lovers, mix in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or 2 cloves minced into the butter before adding moisture. This will give the sauce a strong garlic smell.
• Herbed Variation: The flavor of the sauce can be enhanced by using fresh herbs. Sneak in 1 tablespoon of a minced herb (I love parsley, thyme or basil). Not only do they add herbaceous liveliness to nearly everything, these herbs go gorgeously with just about anything you pair them.
• Spicy: If you want a little heat, add 1/8 tsp cayenne or some hot sauce to taste. This works really well with pasta or drizzled-over roasted vegetables.
• MUSHROOM: Sauté 1/2 cup finely chopped mushrooms in butter before adding the flour. This infuses the sauce with great savory depth, perfect for a meat or pasta dish.

💭 Tips

• Texture: Consistent Whisking — Whisking will be smooth and lump-free if you keep moving the milk.
• Thickness: To make the sauce thicker, add a little more flour. If you prefer it to be thinner, increase the milk.

Try: Experiment with different flavors to make this sauce your very own.

Expert tips:

How to Make a Lump-Free Sauce: First, it is very important to mix the flour into the butter really well before adding any milk. While whisking, slowly pour the milk in.

Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Add just the tiniest bit of salt or a touch more pepper.
The Cheese Edition: If you are making a cheese edition, take the sauce off the heat before adding cheese. This helps prevent the cheese from getting grainy.
