Steps

Let’s see the two steps to make it

  • When preparing bechamel, the first thing to do is make a good roux, that is, mix the oil (or butter) well, in this case the oil, with the flour.

    The roux will be perfect when, after mixing the oil and flour well on the stovetop over low heat, it turns golden.

  • At this point, as soon as the flour and oil are well mixed and have taken on a nice hazelnut color, start pouring in the milk, always stirring well with a whisk or a spoon.

    Add the salt and nutmeg as well.

    Bring the preparation to a boil, raising the heat slightly under the pot. Our bechamel sauce will be ready as soon as it reaches the classic creamy consistency.

Tips and Variations.

The bechamel with rice milk, as mentioned in the introduction, will be perfect with the listed ingredients even for those intolerant to lactose.

If you don’t have intolerance issues, you can make the bechamel by replacing the oil with butter, which you should add in the amount of 2 tbsp.

Bechamel is perfect for accompanying dishes like lasagna and baked pasta, but also vegetables and much more.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
