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.
