ONION SAUCE

Preparation Method :

• Pour the milk into a jug and warm, uncovered, on Full for 2 minutes.
• Put the butter or margarine in a 4 cups bowl. Melt, uncovered, on Defrost for 1 minute.
• Stir in the flour to form a roux. Heat, uncovered, on Full for about 20 - 30 seconds.
• Remove from the microwave and gradually blend in the warm milk.
• Cook, uncovered, on Full for 4 minutes, beating every minute for maximum smoothness, until the sauce comes to the boil and thickens.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper for a savoury sauce and caster sugar for a sweet one.
• Chop 1 onion and put into a small dish with cold water and a pinch of salt. Cover with cling film and slit it twice to allow steam to escape.
• Cook on Full for 4 - 5 minutes until soft. Mix into the prepared Basic White Sauce.
